Ukraine’s PFTS Index climbed 108 percent since January, with engineering company Motor Sich JSC rising more than 300 percent, even as political wrangling stalled budget cuts needed to draw the next $3.4 billion tranche of a $16.4 billion IMF loan. Ukraine may not have enough money to pay for Russian gas ahead of winter unless it gets the bailout payment by Dec. 7. Ukrainian bonds fell the most in the world during the past month.
From a Bloomberg article on high debt in eastern Europe, but the article never mentions that the PFTS collapsed last year. Here's a one year history of the PFTS, which is still well off its pre-crisis high. The PFTS is currently trading around 600, its lowest point this year was 199.
