美联储哈玛克：我对中性利率的预期在FOMC中属于偏高水平。

Ukraine's parliament will concentrate votes this week on a package of reforms required by external lenders to unlock about $4.3 bln in EU and IMF financing, lawmaker Yaroslav Zhelezniak said. Sixteen bills covering labour standards, updates to anti-money-laundering rules and other measures are expected to pass; the most critical bills are scheduled for votes by Wednesday under the parliamentary agenda. Opposition MP Volodymyr Ariev said the timetable is rushed and MPs have had only minimal time to prepare.
