Member of Parliame of Ukraine: Every Ukrainian owes more than 8 thousand dollars – Mehr News agency RCO News Agency
According to Mehr news agency, the former Speaker of the Ukrainian Parliame, Dmitry Razumkov, in an ierview with Apostrophe TV channel, announced that the coury’s curre economic indicators in peacetime mean bankruptcy, and that every citizen of this coury now owes more than $8,000.
According to this member of the Ukrainian parliame, the governme’s irresponsible actions have caused Ukraine a huge debt.
Razumkov said: Ukraine’s total debt is now more than 100 perce of GDP, meaning the coury owes more than it produces in a year. In peacetime, such a level indicates bankruptcy.
He considered the rapid growth of the coury’s public debt not only as a result of military actions, but also due to manageme mistakes, inefficie use of resources, and corruption.
According to the former Speaker of the Ukrainian Parliame, the governme of the coury could have reduced the debt burden, but did not do so, and the Ministry of Finance did not follow up on the debt reduction negotiations that began in 2022. Instead, it was decided to shift the responsibility to the people and put the burden of debt on the citizens by constaly raising taxes and creating new taxes.
Earlier, Nina Yojanina, another member of the Ukrainian parliame, announced that the national debt of Ukraine as of September of this year was more than 191 billion dollars, which is three times the amou at the beginning of 2022.
The Ukrainian publication Ekonomichskaya Pravda has predicted that Ukraine’s public debt will reach 110% of the coury’s GDP this year.
