Pensions and salaries for teachers and doctors in Ukraine will be paid on time, and in March they will be indexed as provided by law. This was announced by Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal at a government meeting.
According to Shmyhal, the financing of the 2024 budget deficit and the macro-financial situation have been the subject of active discussions in recent days. Next year, Ukraine will need more than $37 billion in external financing.
"We certainly count on the support of our international partners. We currently have agreements with eleven countries on multi-year financing programs. We have an extended financing program with the IMF. We have the support of other international financial organizations," he said.
According to him, the government clearly understands what tools and options it has.
"And most importantly. Pensions will continue to be paid on time. The indexation will take place in March 2024, as provided by law. Teachers' and doctors' salaries will also be paid on time," Shmyhal added.
