IMF team in Ukraine will begin negotiations with government on financial help
– canadianbusiness.com
WASHINGTON – The head of the International Monetary Fund says an IMF fact-finding team in Ukraine will begin negotiations with authorities to develop an economic reform program that could lead to financial help from the lending organization.
Christine Lagarde said Thursday the team that went to Ukraine March 4 and normally would return to Washington to report to the IMF board will now remain until March 21.
She said the team will work with authorities in Kyiv to develop an economic reform program that will result in sound economic governance and sustained growth that can be approved by the IMF.
Ukraine’s finance ministry has said it needs $35 billion for this year and next to avoid default. The political turmoil since the end of last year has roiled the economy.

– myownadvisor.ca
Hi all, and welcome to your Weekend Reading list. I had a few posts this week:
Some big fat myths about critical illness insurance,
I reached a new milestone with dividend income, and
I shared Part 1 of my interview with Peter Hodson. Part 2 will be posted next week.
Here are some of my favourite articles from this past week – have a great weekend!
Freedom Thirty Five Blog said his savings are his future income.
The Dividend Blogger shared some more dividend increases this month.
Money We Have is going to ignore RRSP-generated tax refund advice and spend his refund.
Rob McLister, my go-to-guy for mortgage rates and mortgage news, said anything over a five-year fixed term is a mortgage dog now. Check out his thoughts on today’s mortgage market here. Based on where fixed rates are today, if you intend to stay in your home, a five-year term seems like a safe insurance bet.
Big Cajun Man wrote about debt payments.
LSM Insurance told us about Bill 157, which would establish a Financial Advisors Act if passed…
