WASHINGTON, April 27 (Reuters) - International Monetary Fund
Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said on Monday that she
expected the Fund to have provided Nigeria with significant
emergency financing by the end of April, signaling likely IMF
board approval for the oil exporter's $3.4 billion request.
The IMF's board on Tuesday is scheduled to consider a
Nigeria's request for the emergency financing to combat the
impact of the coronavirus. "We are working very rapidly to provide a significant
emergency financing to Nigeria," Georgieva said on a webcast
held by the Atlantic Council. "I expect this to be done by the
end of the month."
