Turkey and the International Monetary Fund, or IMF, have made progress toward a new loan accord and will press forward with negotiations at the G-20 meeting in London, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said, according to CNN Turk news channel.

Erdoğan said he would meet IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn in London at the start of April, according to the channel.

The most difficult issues between the sides have been resolved and what’s left won’t cause “very, very much difficulty,” Erdoğan said in Istanbul, according to the channel.”If we can overcome the issues we will sign an agreement,” Erdoğan said according to CNN Turk. “If not, then we’ll carry on with the way things stand now.”
