KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine's Finance Ministry and its creditors said on Wednesday restructuring talks in Washington had been productive, leading to an agreement to continue negotiations under confidential terms, in an effort to reach a deal as soon as possible.
"The meeting provided a forum for a useful exchange of views on the Ukrainian macroeconomic setting and technical aspects of Ukraine's envisaged debt operation," they said in a joint statement published on the Ukrainian Finance Ministry website.
Further talks will be held next week between Finance Minister Natalia Yaresko and the creditor group regarding a "possible solution", the statement said.
"The parties have agreed to enter such negotiations in good faith, with no preconditions and with the objective of concluding an agreement on the terms of the debt operation as soon as possible."
