The Government has sufficient amount of money to finance all expenditures, including the planned increase in salaries and pensions for Ukrainians. This was stated by Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal during the Question Time for the Government at the Verkhovna Rada on February 18.
"The budget in January was overfulfilled by more than UAH 10 billion. The National Bank has sufficient reserves to make the exchange rate stable. Information pressure and escalation near our borders affect the economic background, but the situation remains stable and under control," said the Prime Minister.
Denys Shmyhal reminded that the Government had promptly decided to allocate funds to ensure the continuity of air services to Ukraine. "We can see that this decision has calmed the situation. We also managed to ensure the passage of merchant ships to Ukrainian ports, so that Ukrainian exporters continue to work," said the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister added that Ukraine communicates with international partners on a daily basis to form an additional package of support for our country.
