Ukrainian Premier Yulia Tymoshenko has denied information that Ukraine's foreign state debt allegedly increases requirements set in the national budget three times, she said on the ICTV channel late on Friday.
“Information that Ukraine have allegedly borrowed three times more that is foreseen in the budget is untrue,” she said.
As reported, the ceiling size of state debt as of
December 31, 2009 is set at UAH 192.95 billion. In one of the
preliminary draft laws on the national budget for 2010 the Finance
Ministry proposed to set the ceiling size for state debt for late 2010
at UAH 348,69 billion.
In 2010, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) plans
to issue another SDR 2.5 billion (around $3.9 billion according to the
present exchange rate) to Ukraine.
