An anti-crisis team to be set up in the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament, will include representatives of all parliamentary factions, and will decide on a reshuffle of the government, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has said.

"We have agreed to form a special anti-crisis team, which will include representatives of all parliamentary factions," Tymoshenko said while opening a cabinet meeting in Kyiv on Wednesday.

The premier said she hoped this anti-crisis team would help pass the consolidated anti-crisis action plan of the government.

She also expressed hope that the government and the parliament will be able to strengthen the composition of the cabinet, as well as change the leadership of the State Property Fund and the Antimonopoly Committee.

The premier said that the government would pass the amended macroeconomic indicators for 2009 soon.
