The state debt increased by 3.7% last month
This occurred due to the attraction of the first $2.7 billion tranche under the IMF's EFF programme
Ukraine's state debt increased by 3.7% last month.
This was announced by Danylo Hetmantsev, Head of the Financial Committee of the Verkhovna Rada.
As of 30 April, the state and guaranteed debt amounted to more than 4.544 trillion UAH, or $124.3 billion. Therefore, over the last month, the indicator has increased by 159.9 billion UAH, or by $4.4 billion.
Hetmantsev explained that the main reason for the debt increase in April was the attraction of the first tranche under the EFF program from the IMF of $2.7 billion and the third tranche of macro-financial assistance from the EU of 1.5 billion euros.
The committee chairman reminded that in the structure of the state debt, the state external debt accounts for 66.9%, the domestic for 33.1%, and the state debt in foreign currency for 69.8%. At the same time, since the beginning of the full-scale war, the state debt in foreign currency equivalent has increased by $31 billion.
