is expected to drive international reserves up to $22.2bn or 4.2 months of future imports by the end of 2018. Analysts are sceptical the full amount will be collected.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has urged parliament (the Verkhovna Rada) to adopt a new bill on the privatisation of state-owned enterprises amid the stalled privatisation drive in the war-torn country. In 2017, the Ukrainian authorities have so far had a good year, obtaining UAH3.244bn ($123mn) from the privatisation of state-owned assets. Kyiv restarted its privatisation drive in August, when the State Property Fund of Ukraine (SPF) sold blocking stakes in several power companies to SCM Group controlled by Ukraine's richest oligarch Rinat Akhmetov. At the same time, the government in Kyiv intended earlier to meet its planned UAH17.1bn of privatisation revenues by the end of 2017.
