Ukraine hopes to receive a third and a fourth tranche by the end of 2015 under a four-year bailout program of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the governor of the country's central bank said Wednesday.

Valeria Gontareva told heads of Ukrainian banks that Ukraine hopes to fulfill IMF's criteria and get the third tranche.
