IMF confident $40 billion package for Ukraine will come together

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund on Thursday said it is confident Ukraine should get an overall $40 billion (25.89 pounds) financing package to support its economy, without providing details about the breakdown of funds.

The IMF last week said its staff had reached an agreement with the Ukraine government on a new economic program with about $17.5 billion coming from the Fund and additional resources from the international community.
