When the Ukrainian economy begins to recover from the war: the IMF was called an important condition

On May 1, 2023, the Permanent Representative of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Ukraine Vagram Stepanyan said this in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine. According to him, for post -war Ukraine it will be a basic condition for sustainable and long -term economic growth.

"It logically follows that measures that reduce tax revenues or destroy the existing tax base limit Ukraine's ability to achieve the goals of reconstruction and development, which negatively affects long -term economic growth," he said. Stepanan said that the cooperation of the IMF and Ukraine, which was approved in March and refers to a four -year program of extended EFF funding worth $ 15. 6 billion, should help this growth.

According to Wagram Stepanian, the National Income Strategy (NSD), whose development in 2023 will help to reconcile revenue mobilization with government priorities and cost needs, including reconstruction and social needs. "In order to maintain the income base in the short term, the main attention will be paid to the abolition of measures introduced in the conditions of martial law and reforms in the tax and customs spheres," - said Stepanyan.

He also noted that VAT would be a comprehensive "road card", which contains clear goals for ensuring revenues and other goals of policies that cover both political and administrative reforms. VAT also envisages increased anti -corruption measures and management procedures to eliminate the risks of poorness and tax reforms for post -war reconstruction and investment. We will remind, on March 27 in the IMF predicted what would be with the economy of the world in 2023.
