The European Commission presented a proposal to provide Ukraine with macro-finance in the amount of 18 billion euros next year. This will help cover part of the budget deficit. This was reported by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal on the Telegram channel.
"It is a very important initiative that will support the economic stability of our state and strengthen the foundation of our future victory. The funds will help cover a significant part of the budget deficit, which will amount to 38 billion dollars," Shmyhal said.
The Prime Minister thanked the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commissioner for Trade, Valdis Dombrovskis, and the government of the Czech Republic for their strong advocacy of this initiative in the EU.
"We are waiting for a positive decision of the European Parliament and the Council of the EU," the prime minister added.
