KIEV (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund is still evaluating recent Ukrainian pension legislation to see if the bill meets the targets of the $17.5 billion IMF program, the Fund’s Ukraine representative Goesta Ljungman said on Friday.

“We are now in a process of evaluating the reform ,” he said at a conference.

He said sustainable pension reform, privatization legislation, and a previously agreed domestic gas price adjustment are the goals Ukraine must meet to qualify for a long-delayed next tranche of loans from the program.
