Ian Talley: Ukrainian elections may ease way toward bailout overhaul
Don't be surprised if the International Monetary Fund overhauls its Ukraine bailout after national elections in late October, including coordinating a restructuring of the country's debt. The new parliament would ostensibly be able to enact another round of politically tough economic policies that would help it get a better grip on state finances. Those efforts would in turn help secure the additional financing the country likely needs, including a potential write-down of the value of its growing debt.
