Ottawa, Ontario–13 March 2014
Prime Minister Stephen Harper today announced additional support to help Ukraine restore economic, social and political stability during this important period of transition.
The support will help the new Government of Ukraine stabilize its economy and deliver programming consistent with Canadian development priorities. It will also ensure that the Government of Ukraine receives the expert guidance and advisory support it needs to manage its economic transition, and will help enhance the capacity of the National Bank of Ukraine to undertake banking and financial sector reforms.
The support announced today is one of several measures that our Government is taking in concert with the international community to help address the current crisis in Ukraine. Any financial support provided by Canada will include the necessary safeguards and conditions to ensure accountability and transparency around the use of those funds.
