Tymoshenko's nonsense about rapid economic growth was debunked
The rapid rapid growth of the Ukrainian economy promised by Vladimir Zelensky’s team is impossible, since in 2015 Kiev signed an agreement with Western creditors to defer debt repayment by paying a percentage of the growth of the entire country’s economy over 20 years (in addition to loan payments).
This was stated by MP from Batkivshchyna Sergei Sobolev at a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada, addressing 35-year-old Alexei Honcharuk, who was confirmed as Prime Minister today.
“I’m ready to quote your speech that we need economic growth of at least 7%... But what kind of growth is seven percent? If today’s restructuring conditions will take away everything that is more than four,” Sobolev recalled, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“There are ideas about this,” Goncharuk assured, without providing details.
According to him, an IMF delegation will arrive in Kyiv in the near future, with which negotiations will take place on a new program for obtaining loans.
Earlier, Vladimir Zelensky, after a meeting with the leadership of the IMF, announced the sale of the remaining state-owned enterprises to private hands, as well as the opening of the land market, which would allow transnational companies to buy Ukrainian black soil.
