The Ukrainian Finance Minister Natalka Yaresko said in an interview with the TSN-Week that the budget deficit in 2015 was planned in the amount of UAH65 milliard, and it is less than last year, Government Portal reports.
As to the report, the Minister admitted that Ukraine fulfils all its commitments despite the difficult situation within the country, notably, the illegal annexation of Crimea and war - what resulted into a 20% loss of the Ukraine’s economy.
Reportedly, Yaresko stressed that Ukraine continues to provide electricity, gas and heat to the occupied territories, without receiving any payment for it, which leads to losses worth about US$1 milliard per season.
Yaresko assured that everything possible would be done to stabilize the situation in Ukraine and to convince the foreign partners in the effectiveness of the reforms.
«The country is waiting for the time to negotiate with the partners, to prove that our reforms we started in 2014 continue in this as well, they are real, that they will enable us to stabilize the country, so that we could say to our citizens and our partners that the situation is changing. We will do everything to change it. And having financial support of our partners, I am sure, we will cope with our external debt,» the Minister admitted.
