IMF approves $15.6 billion Ukraine loan, part of $115bn in global programme

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:58:24 GMT

The International Monetary Fund said on Friday (31 March) its executive board approved a four-year $15.6 billion loan programme for Ukraine, part of a global $115bn package to support the country's economy as it battles Russia's 13-month-old invasion.The decision clears the way for an immediate disbursement of about $2.7 billion to Kyiv, and requires Ukraine to carry out ambitious reforms, especially in the energy sector, the Fund said in a statement.The Extended Fund Facility (EFF) loan is the first major conventional financing program approved by the IMF for a country involved in a large-scale war.Ukraine's previous $5bn long-term IMF program was canceled in March 2022 when the fund provided $1.4bn in emergency financing with few conditions. It provided another $1.3bn under a "food shock window" program last October.An IMF official said the new $115bn package includes the IMF loan, $80bn in pledges for grants and concessional loans from multilateral institutions and other countrie...

Miss Manners: I’m embarrassed to be associated with these rule-breakers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:58:24 GMT

DEAR MISS MANNERS: A few times a year, my in-laws invite my wife and me to join them for a concert at a small local venue. They cover all the costs for the dinner and the show, which can be very pricey.Before the band/performer takes the stage, the host reminds the audience that filming or recording of any kind is strictly prohibited. And yet at every concert, my in-laws whip out their phones about halfway into the show and take several videos.Even if we lean over and whisper a reminder to them that filming isn’t allowed, they smile and ignore us.This is a small, dimly lit venue and I’m sure other people can see the glare of the phones lighting up, though we’ve never had the venue host stop by to give a reminder. Not only is the recording distracting to our own experience, we feel highly embarrassed being associated with people who don’t respect the rules.After we declined to join them at last week’s concert, they sent us several videos they took of the...
