This is an acknowledgment of the collapse of the economy and the dire consequences of the so-called. ATO.
“We must face the truth,” said Petro Poroshenko. – About 25% of the country’s industrial potential has been stopped, 10% is physically destroyed. Defense spending today amounts to more than 90 billion.”
The President of Ukraine also admitted that there can be no talk of any investments in war conditions. “As long as there is a war, investments will not come to Ukraine,” he said. Let us recall that one of the promises of Euromaidan and the signing of an association with the EU was the promise of a sharp increase in European investment in the country.
Poroshenko, however, said that he was going to continue “reforms” that “cannot be quick.” He recalled that the pro-European coalition is working to make decisions necessary for reforms at the legislative level. Most likely, this refers to a reduction in pensions for working pensioners, a reduction in civil servants, an increase in rents for natural gas production, an increase in utility tariffs, an increase in the retirement age and other IMF requirements.
Poroshenko, despite the announced result of his own policy, is nevertheless optimistic. “We will build a different economy, overcome corruption. Moreover, overcoming corruption is not only about voting for the Anti-Corruption Bureau or anti-corruption laws. Corruption has a specific surname, a specific name of a person who should be in prison,” said the President of Ukraine.
Meanwhile, the Cabinet of Ministers officially increased inflation forecasts to 40% per year, and the fall in GDP to almost 12%. The Washington Post predicts hyperinflation in Ukraine in 2015, which will reach 272%.
