Yugoslav Central Bank Governor Expects First 260-m Dollar IMF Loan in June

Having settled all issues that have been in dispute with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Yugoslavia will already by early June get a 260-million-dollar IMF loan as part of a stand-by arrangement, Yugoslav National (central) Bank Governor Mladjan Dinkic has said.

Dinkic is attending the annual IMF and World Bank meeting in Washington, where he has had a number of meetings with top IMF and WB officials over the past few days. He is also to confer with State Department representatives.

The Yugoslav Central Bank governor told reporters that an agreement has been struck with the IMF management, and that it should be approved at Monday's [30 April] session of IMF's task force for Yugoslavia, to be attended also by G7 countries.
