imageKIEV: Ukraine's central bank lowered its main interest rate to 16.5 percent on Thursday from 18 percent, its third consecutive rate cut following a sharp slowdown in inflation.

The bank said it would continue to ease policy provided this did not negatively affect inflation targets, warning that price stability depended on a successful second review of a $17.5 billion bailout programme from the International Monetary Fund.
