Funds from the IMF will last until June — Budget Committee forecast
Lesya Zaburanna, Chair of the Subcommittee on State Budget Expenditure of the Verkhovna Rada’s Budget Committee, made this statement during a live broadcast on Rano.LIVE
Where are domestic resources and aid being spent?
According to the official, the state budget is clearly divided by source of funding:
-
Defence: absolutely all domestic revenue and collected taxes are directed towards funding the defence sector;
-
Social sector: pension payments, salaries for teachers and medical staff, as well as other social obligations, are funded exclusively through financial support from international partners.
Risks to the economy
Zaburanna emphasised that for the stable survival of Ukraine’s economy, Western allies must approve new tranches without delay. Any delay in aid poses a direct threat to the state’s ability to fulfil its social obligations as early as June.
