Economic situation in Ukraine is stable and corresponds to the Government’s prognoses.
The Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Volodymyr Lytvyn said this answering the journalists’ questions during his visit to Zhytomyr region on Saturday.
According to him, following the information of the Cabinet of Ministers, there are no reasons to be concerned. “So far, deficit of budget corresponds to the planned indicators stipulated by the budget itself,” he said and added: “I do not see any problems as of today.”
Answering the questions, V. Lytvyn expressed hopes that budget-2013 will be adopted within the timeframe stipulated by the Budget Code, and the expenses for education and healthcare will be increased.
The Head of the Parliament is also convinced that while preparing the budget, “one should not place the stake on increasing taxes and custom duties.” According to him, the success in social and economic development could be achieved by ensuring favourable investment climate and creation of enterprises in every populated area, which would consequently create new jobs. “Having settled this issue, we will settle the problem of social comfort, peace and ensure predictability of the country,” he noted.
V. Lytvyn warned also against adoption of populist laws that have no financial foundation, and, therefore, cannot be put into practice. “We need incentives to develop economic life of the country and support performance of current social laws,” he said.
