The Prime Minister Arsenii Yatseniuk announced that on Thursday, March 27, at the Verkhovna Rada session, Government Portal reports.
As to him, the general volume of support for Ukrainian economy will total USD 13.6 billion. In particular, it comprises the World Bank budget loan worth USD 1 billion; funds to be transferred by the European Union for the so-called macro-financial assistance worth USD 2 billion; macro-financial assistance from the US Congress worth USD 1 billion.

He also stressed that the National Bank is an independent body, the Government has no right and will never dictate policy of the Central Bank. «But, to our conviction, the rates to attract funds worth 25% and credit rates amounting 35% are unacceptable. We urge the National Bank to launch the widest program of refinancing of the commercial banks with 14% interest, so that it becomes possible to direct the resources into the economy at a rate not higher 1718% with the inflation 1214%. The payment for the resources will make up only 45% as is in the EU member countries. The prices have grown by 14%, the rate in crediting - 18%, the actual charge - 4%,» Yatseniuk admitted.
