who will clarify what agreements the ministry of finance and the international holders of eurobonds managed to obtain, what about our debt, and i will also inform you about the situation in the energy sector and what about unemployment, the ministry of economy also says, all the details in a moment, i am oleksandr morchyvka, congratulations, this is a column about money during the war and i have an important one. information from ukrenergo, so the head of ukrenergo announced the improvement of the electricity situation in a couple of weeks, that is , sometime in august. according to volodymyr kudrytskyi, the volume of production will increase kilowatts, some generating generating capacities and units at power stations will come out of repairs. in this way, the deficit will decrease slightly. it will decrease from august to october, however, subject to new large-scale shelling, if there are any. then

blackouts really cannot be avoided - notes volodymyr kudrytskyi. well, just on this piece of news, i want to briefly recall the information that yuriy received from the head of the cabinet of ministers, denys shmigal, promised that the deficit would decrease at the end of july, in the 20th of july, when the next unit at the nuclear power plant will be taken out of repair power plant, well, i really assured that there will be fewer power outages, well, they really took it out of repair and... great, but it is difficult to deliver electricity to ordinary consumers, we do not have such power, and it seems to me, why publish such information, that here it is in the 20s, there will really be fewer power outages, there will be a deficit, the deficit will decrease, populism is our everything, now ukrenergo promises that it will decrease in august, just please do as you can, do your job, you have to turn off the lights , you need to save. current

turn off according to the schedules, or if there are really strikes and there is a need for such emergency shutdowns, if not, he says, as it is, well , this is just such a really journalistic criticism, because, well, comparing the statements of the head of the cabinet of ministers and the head of ukrenergo, we have that , which we have let's go further: there is a shortage of personnel in ukraine, there is a shortage of 4.5 million workers. this was announced by deputy minister of economy tetyana berezhna during a meeting with representatives. according to the imf, due to the departure of citizens abroad, there is structural unemployment in the state to ensure annual growth the gross domestic product is needed by 7% by 2030, and 4.5 million workers, well, unfortunately, there are none. well, an interesting material appeared recently in bloomberg. according to experts, the labor shortage will have a domino effect. first, enterprises will be. to hear

the production, further losses will be felt by the whole economy of ukraine, and here i was looking at this information, this quote from tetyana berezhnaya, the deputy minister of economy, so she says that the main reason is that people simply went abroad, and she did not adds here that due to mobilization, there is also a shortage of labor force, and this also affects the ukrainian economy, and unfortunately, this demographic one as well. the crisis will still be with me, it seems to me that it can intensify even more, and therefore we must be ready for even greater challenges in the future. and before i join our guest, i will read the important, really important information, the important news that we expected ukraine managed to reach an agreement with the committee of owners of eurobonds on debt restructuring, said denys shmyhal, the head of our of the cabinet of ministers, this will save more than 11 billion. dollars on its maintenance

over the next three years and 22 and more than 22 billion by 2033. well, this is the economy according to the calculations of the cabinet. in this way, the state will be able to free up funds that will go to defense, social protection and recovery. previously, in the editions of the column about money, we already included ilyuna shkadovskyi, an expert on economics, finance and tax. politicians of the ans national interest protection network and have invited you to talk in detail about this topic again about the results of the changes, if we explain to ordinary ukrainians what, in addition to freed up funds, this provides in general for the financial system of ukraine and for relations with international partners. i congratulate you. and have a good day. well, first of all, it is certainly, absolutely exactly what you mentioned first, that we will release the funds. well, we have. in principle there were none,

today we have a significant deficit of the state budget, and these funds are paid from the state budget, we attract funds from our partners in order to fulfill our obligations to ours. pensioners to pay wages there for health care workers, education workers and so on, that is, in other words, we simply do not have these funds, and our international partners absolutely reasoned and reasonedly say, how so, that is, we will give you, and these are the governments, give you money, and you will use this money to pay off your debts, we can say that we do not agree, so it was necessary to negotiate and... we agreed, and the first thing is that we will not have to pay these funds, we avoided, they just didn't allow a default, and this is already a matter of certainty reputation, despite the fact that we had a military invasion in 2014, despite the fact that we had a military invasion in

2022, during this entire period we only had technical defaults, that is, this is agreed with our creditors n the transfer payments, as well as a reduction in the payments that we should make accordingly, that is, ukraine has never defaulted, which means that we will have a high reputation, both among commercial creditors, who will be more willing to provide funds to ukraine, and when it will attract them after the war, and the second point, which is also important to us, is for recovery for our investors, that is, we can safely... say that despite all the difficulties that ukraine has, we agreed with creditors, found a compromise option, and this compromise option consists precisely in the fact that we will fulfill our obligations, by the way, we have achieved very positive results, 37% write-off of our debt, 25

unconditional and 12 conditional, here there are certain questions about whether those will be achieved indicators or not, the second, significantly... decrease rates, postponement of our payments, and this, of course, in all respects, is a certain plus, but still an agreed position, it is not exactly what ukraine wanted, but it must be understood that only a compromise is always reached in such negotiations, when for some reason, we are giving in and the creditors are giving in in their demands, as this is a similar model to the restructuring of 2015, when a large share was written off, the rest was. reset in payments for years, what is there? there are no guarantors here, that is, in other words, we are not dependent, however, there is 12% that depends on the fact that ukraine should show better results than the world bank and the international

monetary fund predicted for us. there is a certain nuance here, because usually the international monetary fund, it is pessimistic about our economy, but... again, the war continues, there are serious challenges, and most likely the forecasts will be in the volumes that the international monetary fund is currently forecasting for us, but i emphasize once again, maybe the situation will improve, as a result we will get better indicators of growth there of the gross domestic product, and then this 12% will not be written off, and of course for us this is an unacceptable scenario, in fact the creditors received only 25% of the debt written off, and 12%. we will have to pay the same as the other part of the debt. taking into account the fact that today the quotation of our eurobonds is at the level of somewhere around 23-25%, of course the creditors have in principle benefited from this situation, but

i emphasize once again that this is a condition that must either be fulfilled or not. well, if i'm not mistaken, the information about this one flashed today news eurobonds of ukraine... began to rise in price and is this a good signal for investors? no, for investors, no, it is for creditors that the issue of investors who invest in order to build and some enterprise or invest in some financial instruments should be considered, and this is the first point, or in this case it is simply creditors, financial investors who invest their free funds in securities of various countries, well, in this case, they invested and received quite high. the level of profitability in ukrainian securities, but the war changed the situation accordingly, and now they agree to write off a quarter of the debt, and why did the growth happen, because precisely its creditors saw that the offer

that was signed, that is, the agreement that was signed by ukraine, is sufficiently profitable, and taking into account the fact that we have a 40% write-off of the debt, so it will no longer be 23% of the nominal value, but the conditional ones will be 30%, and maybe even 35%, well, this will certainly improve our international ratings, well, on this news and, in fact, on such positive news from... . the financial sector traditionally, the hryvnia is strengthening, unfortunately, last week was quite so alarming, and the euro became more expensive, and the american dollar rose in price, in your opinion, does this essentially stabilize the course, and for example, last week i spoke with boris kushniruk, he says that the exchange rate can be stabilized, but the national bank is to blame for everything, what are your forecasts? well, the national bank has significantly increased its sales over the past year, finally , in general, i think that it missed the time when it was necessary to increase volumes of foreign exchange sales because just a week

before that he sold only 600 million, i believe that was not enough then to stabilize, in the last month, in the last week, he had increased to more than 900 million dollars in sales in the foreign exchange market, but he was extinguishing not only, let's say standard demand, it also extinguished precisely the demand that was provoked by the population, because ... of course, when approaching the return on the currency and the return on the bonds of the domestic government loan, the decision was in favor currency, that is, the national bank untimely processed the growing demand and the devaluation that was there, it was necessary to make a decision earlier, this is the first moment, the second moment, already today the exchange rate dropped from 41.50 kopecks per dollar to 41 uah 33 kopecks per dollar. i think that here again i really agree that it depends on the national bank,

i believe that he is playing some of his own games with this exchange rate, and of course for him this kind of devaluation of the national currency was absolutely unacceptable, because he actually put under a threat to stability national currency, and this is his first task, which is written in his law, so now he is on this day, against this background, he stabilizes the situation. however , the further strengthening of the national currency is controversial for me, given that we still have a difficult situation on the electricity market, there may be corresponding risks regarding the operation of our enterprises, and the closure of enterprises that cannot provide themselves with alternative electricity as a result of some volumes and so on, that's why for now it's such a restrained forecast, and everything depends on how the national bank will act. in the following weeks. thank you for the thorough analysis, and the fact that you laid out everything on the shelves,

illany shkodovskyi, an expert on economics, finance and tax policy, the network for the protection of national interests, ans was a guest of the column about money during the war. and the last information is very important from the world of money for you and me, ordinary consumers. from august, the old -style 500 uah banknotes will begin to be withdrawn from circulation. banknotes of 2003-2007 will be replaced. on modern banknotes of the 2014 and subsequent years already issue, this was reported to the national bank, the main goal of such a step is to improve the quality of cash, because the old bills are quite worn, after all, the money that will remain in your hands will be valid, and all of us will be able to continue using it without restrictions to settle, they will simply be withdrawn from the banks forever. here is such information from the world. money for today, i will say goodbye to you, but the big broadcast continues, there will be more, watch us, thanks to

oleksandr morshavka, as always in detail about the world of money, he gave answers to questions that sure worry many of our viewers. yes, well, i remind you that immediately after the end of the big broadcast at 20:00 the program. week, which is every monday, and on our broadcast with khrystyna yatskiv, yatskiv and andriy smolii, and now i have the opportunity to ask the host khrystyna yatskiv about what the main topics are today and what guests are waiting for. christ, i salute you, you have a word. i congratulate yuria and i congratulate all our viewers and listeners. very soon, andriy and i will be able to say hello in a wider format, but for now i can briefly announce, what are we going to talk about. new week program. this is a project in which we talk about what is important now and about what will have a prospect

for intelligence in the near future, and of course, this time, the key to our program will be the refusal of joseph biden to participate in the presidential campaign, the presidential elections in the united states. how does the american society react to this, what prospects does kamala harry have to become a delegate from the democrats, and what awaits ukraine? if donald trump becomes the president of the united states again. as for a good friend of ukraine boris johnson, a person who showed himself to be a very good leader. at the beginning of russia's large-scale invasion of our country, then recently, and you know this very well, he proposed a kind of peace plan, his vision, what can each of the parties to the conflict in history with war, which offers, well, most likely, no borders in 1991,

but in 2002, 2022, and in addition, to a certain extent, the protection of russian languages. what does this mean, what did the ex-prime minister of great britain mean, we will talk about it, we will of course develop the topic of language in the second part of our program, together with andrii smoly, we will remember the bright memory of iryna farion, who was recently buried in lviv and on whom , unfortunately, a successful attempt was made, but briefly about how our program will be built, in the first part oleksiy hetman, analyst , reserve major of the national guard of ukraine, veteran of the russian-ukrainian war about the situation on the fronts. viktor shinchak, chairman of the board of the institute of world policy on everything related to the international community. well, let's not ignore energy, and we'll talk about it with oleksiy orzhel, the head of the kyiv office secretariat of the energy community and ex-minister of energy and environmental protection

of ukraine in 2019-20. we will meet very soon. and pass back to yuri fizer on the big air. thank you, christina. very soon, don't forget, at 20:00 immediately after the end of the big broadcast of khrystyna yatskiv and andriy smoliy in the new week program. it will be interesting, don't miss it, there are literally 13 minutes left. well, we go further. small ukrainian business is trying to survive and keep customers in rather difficult conditions. how much harder has it become to work? entrepreneurs and what to expect closer to winter, our correspondents found out. you can work, go for a walk, or drink coffee now only with such sound accompaniment. turning off the lights for 12 hours forces the business to run purely on fuel for such machines. can small

entrepreneurs make coffee and break even ? the summer of 2024 has certainly become more difficult for ukrainian businesses than the winter of 2023. abnormal heat and, as a result, even harsher power outages. in sumy , the work of small institutions was transformed into survival. it is very difficult to work now, our lights are turned off for 7-9 hours. it happens that during the entire working day there is only one and a half to two hours of light. and we have to work on the generator all the time. the generator is the master of any kind. what a ukrainian entrepreneur, because today without him it is literally like without hands, at the same time , huge funds are needed to maintain this miracle machine. the generator consumes about 10-15 liters of fuel per day, which roughly costs uah 2,000 per month. it is very difficult to say now, because different days,

and most of us work somewhere in zero, now we work to keep our customers. the price has risen because there are no deliveries, everything spoils, you can't buy groceries, but thank god everything works here, our generator is pulling, we prepare food, we prepare coffee and cold drinks, the refrigerators work, everything is fine, such small businesses are becoming real an oasis for residents of nearby buildings, because when there is no light at home, it will probably be in a cafe, and there will also be hot food, the internet and... maybe even air conditioning, come very many people come to work, charge their devices, also come to get hot water, cook food, store their products, our freezer works, they bring meat. this summer demonstrated that ukrainians should not be frightened not only by frost, but also by heat. children and adults all over the country are coming up with creative ideas to deal

with the scorching sun and the lack of electricity, and are sincerely and... more than ever happy about the rain, and although sometimes they are indignant and understand that such inconveniences are definitely not the biggest problem. no, i this process somehow i control, well, i charge myself before evil appears, well, everything is good in this sense, well, like, okay, we survive, well, we try to live, not survive, so what saves me the most now is silpo, which has a cafe zone, respectively , crowded, but possible. use the charger and the wi-fi is stable, that is, for example, there was no light yesterday, i was working from there, no, i don’t want to charge my phone, nothing, two hours are enough for me. i charge power banks, then i charge phones and everything else, and that's enough for me. i don't need it, because the 22nd year has already gotten used to it, and that's why there is a power bank

that keeps. it's bad that there is no connection, it's not mine, it's difficult to pay with a card, and everything is relative, the main thing is that it's not like in my native place bakhmut. however, despite the positive perception of today's challenges, it is also rational to think about... hopeful forecasts are given only by fortune tellers, specialized experts, officials and people's deputies who are quite skeptical and already hint that it is not worth waiting for a miracle, and everyone needs to prepare independently. we think about it every day, but let's hope for the best, we thought about to put panels, batteries, but the heart tells that everything will be fine. in the verkhovna rada this week, people's... deputies adopted at least two important laws that also affect business: the first is positive: duties and taxes on the import of generators, batteries, equipment for wind and solar generation

were canceled, but the excise tax on fuel , on the contrary, was increased. we predict that the increase in the excise tax on gasoline will take place somewhere within the range of 1.2 hryvnias for gasoline and diesel, and this is... the contribution that all of you and i will make to finance the army. supporting defenders is clearly the single and most important task of every ukrainian. but time will tell how long the entrepreneurs will be able to balance on the verge of bankruptcy and continue to pay taxes for the benefit of the country. kateryna galko, andriy varstyuk, espresso tv channel. well, it is very important that this time not only shows how we survive, but that it proves. about the fact that our business was able to survive, was able to go through these difficult times and develop. yes, and now i once again urge you to join the "from scratch to life" project. this is a fee for atvs

for quick evacuation of the wounded and delivery of ammunition. support the soldiers of the 93rd separate mechanized brigade kholodny yar with a donation. our defenders fight for victory every day, leaving no wounded or dead on the battlefield. so... atvs are indispensable assistants for evacuations, and they also allow you to move as quickly as possible on the road, which means that you can perform combat tasks more efficiently. warriors who have already passed more than one test at zero are always ready to retaliate against the enemy. for the sake of our peace, they and holidays, and on weekdays they continue to rotate positions. your support significantly increases the chances of not only successfully completing the task, but also returning from it alive. so join the gathering. our goal is uah 4 million. 4 million hryvnias

is a lot at first glance, but it is very little, considering how many of you are viewers of the espresso tv channel. so, if each of you throws at least one hryvnia on the numbers of the cards of two famous banks that you saw on your screens, huh? or by those qr codes that you have also seen on screens, it will speed things up considerably for the collection for our purpose and will close this collection, 4 million will be for the purchase of these atvs, which are so necessary for our soldiers, we very much ask you to participate more actively in this collection, so i have some more interesting, i think interesting information for you , and it is particularly interesting that the minister of foreign... affairs in latvia, baiba braze, who today, by the way, was present at a meeting with colleagues in the capital of belgium, brussels, so she called on the allies to lift restrictions from

ukraine so that it could strike weapons received from the west on targets deep in the territory of russia. according to her, the partners should lift the restrictions on strikes on those regions of the eu... not until the russian and not until the federation, where russian planes take to the sky to attack, launch their deadly missiles at ukrainian cities, then a quote from the minister of foreign affairs: this does not mean that ukraine will not follow a very clear discipline regarding compliance with these restrictions, they have previously been exemplary in the actual application of certain restrictions, not provoking the situation, but it is wrong to limit the protection of ukraine, so we will continue to insist on this, whether the minister reached her colleagues,

it is currently unknown, but she really found the same words that can be reached, that is, you are afraid that ukraine will not comply commitments, do not be afraid, ukraine has already proven that it will fulfill these commitments, and in this case, if, for example, germany is afraid to give us taurus, long-range missiles so that we can strike targets with them military targets deep in the territory of russia, and if you are afraid, we will give these... taurs, don't be afraid, says mrs. mrza, because ukraine will do exactly as she says, its target will be only military objects. yes, well , well, now all i have to do is give the word to our incomparable natalka didenko, who will tell us what the weather has in store for us. i will say goodbye to you until tomorrow.

synoptic greetings to all, dear ukrainians, summer is in full swing, the fiercest heat is already in the past, although it is possible that someone else complains that it is already 30-34°, it is also quite high, but that's all well, 38, 39, 40, is not yet visible on the synoptic horizon, and therefore we will calmly look, taste and learn about such a wonderful fruit as an apricot, because now actually... apricot peak, so to speak, smells from all the windows apricot jam, all the streets of small towns and villages are also covered with this beautiful color, such a ukrainian, ukrainian fruit, but what is its history really, so apricots, apricots, morels, morels, in general, this is arminiaca vulgaris, this is a fruit tree from the plum family,

yes homeland the early form, which has already been cultivated, this is central asia and china, there are eight species, they grow mainly in asia, and for a long time the apricot was cultivated, grown in burma, and from there it came to us in europe, and from here the name armeniaca, this armenian plum, apricot is an armenian plum. in ukraine, the main, most common variety is called red-cheeked, and it is located in almost all regions. everything is used in apricot, fruits, seeds, pits in fresh form, we have already mentioned canning, they are dried, dried apricots without pits, i hope you know, are called dried apricots, and pitted apricots , and dried fruits contain 50-60% sugar, be careful, who, for example, has problems with high sugar in the body, and dried apricots also contain potassium, and it very well stimulates the work of the heart and

the body in general, from wood. apricots make musical instruments that sound very good, that's how it is beautiful and useful from all sides of an apricot. we go further and move on to the behavior of the earth's magnetic field. tomorrow there will be a calm situation, minor fluctuations, so we leave everything as it is, so to speak, and move on to the weather forecast for the next day. we traditionally start with the western regions of ukraine, in which... tomorrow there is the greatest probability of short-term rains and thunderstorms, the air temperature is quite comfortable, in the western regions somewhere around 26-29°, and only in transcarpathia and in the chernivtsi region it can be higher than 29-31 , in the northern part of ukraine tomorrow the air temperature will be comfortable for summer, 27-29°, precipitation is not expected, only in the evening in sumy oblast the probability of a short rain with a thunderstorm, e. in

the east of ukraine, there may be rains and thunderstorms in the kharkiv region and luhansk region, local, of course, but nevertheless, rather in the afternoon or evening, the air temperature there will vary from 29 in the kharkiv region to luhansk, donetsk , 30-33° above zero. in the central part of ukraine, vinnytsia will be fresher, so to speak, cooler, if it can be said that way, but in dnipropetrovsk region and in cherkasy region, in cherkasy... it will still be quite hot, precipitation in the central part of ukraine is not expected tomorrow, dry weather, high air temperature, therefore increased fire danger, be careful. the southern part of ukraine will traditionally be the hottest, tomorrow it will be 30-34° above zero, without precipitation, dry, sunny. tomorrow is expected in kyiv.
