Azarov said that the government's main task, which it is successfully performing, is to maintain macroeconomic and financial stability, and the mission of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that recently visited Ukraine had noted this fact. As reported, the State Statistics Committee has not published the pace of the country's month-on-month GDP since 2009, making public only quarter-on-quarter data. Photo by Andrey Skakodub / UNIAN
