Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman opened the Government sitting and announced reform support and further transformations in the state being its central topics. Volodymyr Groysman reminded that the policy pursued by the Government to overhaul the country already yields result. Hence, it is vital these days to demonstrate unity in adopting the most urgent decisions for the country. Among them - the approval of the draft state budget for 2018, which will be presented this Friday, September 15, and the final approval of the draft law on the pension reform, scheduled for next week.

“We have surmounted the crisis, we have maintained control over the situation”, the Head of Government said. “We have come to build, to do everything necessary to bring about positive change to the lives of citizens”, said the Prime Minister.

The Head of Government believes that further decentralization, restoring of the country's logistics potential, implementing reforms in education, healthcare sectors and retrofitting the pension system, which are currently in Parliament waiting for approval, changes in privatization mechanisms, supported by the National Reform Council within the President of Ukraine - all of those are critical for economy’s development.

"Today we will also consider the program of development of farming", the Head of Government said. He recalled that the Government allocates UAH 1 billion for the implementation of this program. "We will increase the number of farms in geometric progression. We must give a new impetus to the farms, thereby allowing the country to supply the domestic market with high-quality products and create new jobs", Volodymyr Groysman stressed.
