half a percent, how important are these values, and why actually worsened, very important values, very important values ​​from several such points of view, first of all, after all, i would allocate our state budget, in general, 4.5% growth is laid down in our state budget. if the growth, say, will be at the level of 3%, and even worse at the level of, say, 2.5%, then this means that it is not us who do not add 2% points to our growth, but it is already a question of money, and 2% points to our growth that we might miss, that would mean we're shorting uh about $4 billion to our, to our economy, to our economic growth. and if we add to it how much our state budget is shortfalling, then we will be talking

about 1.60 billion dollars for the state budget, and this is already considerable funds, well , you just started talking about the imf again, the same imf gave us now, well, i agreed not long ago, the money will come, i understand, already this week, on the new one, agreed 2.2 we may fall short of our state budget due to the fact that growth may be reduced to 2.5%. and again, if you look at why this is happening, it 's because the attacks on our energy in the first place, it slows down opportunities for economic growth, that's understandable. er, is there any solution for this, if we have a base scenario, really 12 hours a day,

connecting the light for for consumers, will we be able to, will the business even manage, what to do? first of all, first of all, our business more than adaptive, if you look at, let's say 20, the second year, just the beginning of this great war, you could see that despite the... that business was suffering, despite the fact that our economy fell by almost a third in in the first year of this war, uh, business started to adapt quickly, and so in the 23rd year... we've already got growth with you at about 5% economic growth in the country, if we're talking about whether or not business to work in such conditions, in which it will work now, when there is no energy, there won't be enough electricity, no, it will be very difficult for him to do it, some

will be able to adapt, but you also have to understand that when it comes to, say, generators, generators are not the same price. if you used electricity, even if they say there will be an increase in tariffs, an increase in tariffs, but if you produce it with a generator, then it is a completely different price, because fuel costs much more there, and if fuel costs much more, if energy is more expensive, then this means that in in the end, the cost of production will be increased, the increase in the cost of production will affect the price of the product, the marking on the price of the product means that there will be an increase in inflation on the one hand, on the other hand, the competitiveness of these products will be reduced, and in general there are whole businesses that will be more than it is difficult to survive, well, let's say, if we think about the agricultural sector and the storage of agricultural products, it's one thing when you

store wheat, it's another thing when you have to freeze and then store it... strawberries or vegetables or there are other fruits, berries, and when you need it, when you need constant stress, when you constantly need electricity transmission, it will be difficult to do, it will be difficult to do and work for a service that is also important for the country, it will be difficult to work as an industrial enterprise , even though we understand how difficult it will be for the population. country, you can imagine how difficult it is to be at an industrial enterprise, especially at those industrial enterprises where there is such a production cycle that you cannot stop at all, that is, it this enterprise should work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we have such enterprises, but imagine that there is no electricity, and

it can be colossal problems of a man-made nature, and we have already seen it with you. this is at coke at one of the coke plants in the east of the country, when the electricity supply simply stopped, there was an accident at the enterprise, that is, you can imagine that these are also colossal problems, but it is also true that if you look again, who and how we supports, now there are many programs of an economic nature, they go precisely to support of our power system, fast rebuilding, fast. smoothing the system, reconfiguring the system, credit resources for green energy, again from our allies and partners, generally investing in this sector, so that there are opportunities for issues to be resolved, but still everything depends on the ability of our military to defend itself,

to protect our territory, why, by the way, are so many of our government officials out loud. the president of the country on the need to obtain air defense in order to ensure stability functioning, including the energy system. well, it is clear that in this war there are things that do not depend much on us, there are things that do depend on us, and the ability of the army is one of them, the economic ability, the ability of the military budget, we are all that too, i i think we understand the question, you know, we had roman yesterday. chuk, the ukrainian business ombudsman, who was the canadian ambassador to ukraine for a long time, and he said that we talked about the need to raise taxes, which mr. heitmantsev he says, correctly, he probably says, uh, and, but, but, but the fears that there are in business, this is what mr. roman vashchuk told us yesterday, that this

tax increase will first of all affect those people who already pay taxes , he gave a figure that... only 1% return tax audits, compared to the 99% paying taxes now, that does not mean that there is no shadow, shadow circulation, it is huge, we know it, there 40% say , for example, and so on, but, but, but the question is that we have somehow never changed, it seems to me that mr. roman vashchuk is saying, herself the philosophy that we have a person who is a person on... is suspected of being guilty, and in us this philosophy continues to be sovshes, everything that we did not allow is forbidden, i just what is it for i say everything. it's just that we are now in such a period, when we can't just do business as usual, when we don't need some cosmetic changes, we need to change, it seems to me

, the very philosophy of the relationship between the state and business, otherwise, well, we will lose to russia, because it simply has a bigger economy, or we completely dependent on western aid, i, andriy dligoch , also says about this that there are many people in the government who hope for... that they will give us another 50 billion, it is possible to do the economy in general, not to deal with the economy, you are already an adviser to the president, what are your thoughts on this, what can be done now so that we can fight for more than one year? well, if we talk about the fact that we should continue to run a marathon, not a sprint, but a marathon, then we really need a financial resource and a significant financial resource, as in this year, $40 billion comes from or about $40 billion is about what we receive from our allies and partners, that is, everything related to our non-military,

non-security expenses is completely covered by our allies and partners, and there is a deficit in this year, the minister of finance talks about the additional 5 billion dollars that appeared this year, for the next year the deficit will be maintained, which... is less at the level of 45 billion dollars, if we take , respectively, the 40 that were and plus five , those that additionally arose are at least 45, the additional army will also cost money for well, my calculations show that every 3.5, excuse me, every 100,00 people to the army additionally means plus 3.5 billion dollars in annual terms to ours. of the additional part of our budget, well, count, if you are guided by the figure of an additional 300,000 for the army, then this means an additional 10.5 billion dollars

to the expenditure part of the budget, if 200, then 7 billion dollars, respectively, that is, to those 45 billion, which i mentioned before, that is , huge funds are needed, the economy will be to grow, but it will grow even in the same... forecast issued by the national bank of ukraine, or which was confirmed by the international monetary fund, for the next year already, they are talking about 5% growth for the next year, this is not the kind of growth that is simply drastic will increase the revenues of the state budget, and then the question arises, in order to run a marathon, even in conditions of geoeconomic, geopolitical uncertainty, or high risks that exist in... in the economy, in geopolitics, what will this mean for us? we have to provide our, well, foundation, our such an airbag, actually independently, and

to provide it independently, it means a lot, first of all it means, yes, indeed the detinization of the economy, but you also understand that the detinization of the economy is that we can quite easily pronounce these words of the deification of the economy with you, but this does not mean... that it can be done so quickly, if you look at our recent economic history in general, starting from 91 and up to, let's say, the statistics of the last 21, when the level of the shadow economy was generally assessed by our ministry economy, then it was always around 30%, plus or minus 30%, more like plus than minus, 30% was the shadow sector of the economy, what is it? means, this means that approximately 60 billion dollars, well, as of now, are circulating in the price, they are produced in the price, if it is produced in the price, then accordingly, well

, approximately 24 billion do not receive the budget, as if colossal numbers that make it possible to simply to maintain financial stability for a long period of time, but it is also true that there is no need to build illusions, the shadow sector of the economy, it generally exists through everyone countries and in switzerland, and in the states and... anywhere, and even if we take hungary as a parameter there, the country with the highest level of the shadow sector of the economy among european countries, it is there, according to the same statistics, at about 15%, then if you imagine we can bring it down to that level, that means an additional $10 billion in public funding, but again, hope it can be done like this... and quickly, no, it won't work, yes, it the right main road, which will have to move, but hope that

it will be possible to get the effect of speed. but all the same , i would definitely not count on this money, even next year, and even this year, at the end of this year, because there will simply be much more risks if you do not receive this money in the state budget, so the second direction that needs to be done, and i would recommend that it be done immediately, is to take the entire spending part of our state budget that does not relate to the army, security and defense, outline all the expenses that are there, and then just cut those costs, that is prioritize and cut, because the economic theory of economic policy and the practice of economic policy in the world, it says that if you have deficits of the state budget, which must be reduced quickly, then the only correct way is to cut the spending part, the spending part do not want to kill any politicians in any country of the world,

it is clear that it will be used. that we need to do this immediately, we also need to think about where to get additional funds, it is good that we need to continue the fight against corruption, we need to continue there detinization of the economy and everything else that can bring additional income to the state budget, but again here we need, by the way, we need a really aggressive policy in these areas. but an aggressive policy and the desire to receive these additional funds in the state budget does not at all mean that they will be received so quickly in the state budget, then we will still have to look for additional funds, in addition, they can be negotiated with our allies and partners once again and get engaged not just additional guarantees, because it is difficult to get these additional guarantees, but there

there are also ways to... possible development, and in the end you will still be left with the fact that everything related to our tax legislation will have to be revised, i am far from the opinion that it is necessary to simply completely, well, as they say, just radically change our tax laws and increase taxes by colossal figures, here i see serious effects, negative, this is a serious negative effect will be that if you increase very quickly and so on... a serious tax burden, then in countries, in which there is a large sector of the shadow economy, you simply increase the level of shadows, and you can reduce it, in general, it can lead to the opposite effect and the income to the state budget will simply decrease, what i am talking about, what exactly we talked about with mr. roman vyshuk, and increase the burden on those who already pay a large amount of taxes and reduce their competitiveness, compared to those who have completely gone into the shadows, for example, having

some kind of shoulder. relatively speaking, in the government or in the tax office, we understand where we all live, yes, and then you can go to this alternative path, which will have to use everything related to economic reservation, yes, or economic mobilization, whatever you want to call it, it is about the fact that, in principle, this direction can give additional funds, but it needs to be decided politically, economically , it seems that everything is clear and simple, from the point of view of finances, if you introduce... this is an economic reservation, of course, you will receive additional revenues to the state budget, another thing is whether the society is ready are you ready for this? politicians on this, but this is one of the possible directions that can provide additional funds, another issue that we wanted to touch on is the issue of the sea corridor, which was unblocked after the liberation of snake island, this is our way out finally to... and big

roads trade, how much we can increase our exports here, how much it helps us now? well, in principle it helps us, in principle, after all, we must remember that we are an export-oriented state, we generally receive 50% of our gross domestic product at the expense of of exports, i.e. colossal figures, and received, it is better to say, pre-war periods of time, also received one of the chains of transport chains. through which we transport our export products, our exports go through the black sea, and this is especially important for our agriculture, but after the island was liberated and after it was clear how we move through the black sea, after the ships of russia were partly of them.
