vasyl winter project for smart and caring people in the evening naespresso good evening i am from ukraine and i am andriy yanitskyi this is the tv channel espresso news of the economy during the war today is friday july 22. if you watch us on the internet, please like and share this video with your friends like us will see more people since yesterday, banks can sell non-cash currency to ukrainians, the national bank praised such a decision , people's deputy of ukraine yaroslav zheliznyak noted that there are conditions for the registration itself deposit from three months, the monthly limit is uah 50,000, in addition, the national bank of ukraine raised the official exchange rate to uah 36 and 56 kopecks per dollar in june by 21 and half a

percent, the prices of goods in ukraine increased, if compared with last year, inflation is accelerating in that is controlled, says the head of the national bank, kyryla shevchenko, among the reasons he cites the consequences of the war, the increase in energy prices and inflation in the world. by the end of the year, ukrainians will have to pay 30% more for goods, the previous forecast was 25% inflation the situation with valuables will stabilize only next year, the national bank also left the discount rate at the level of 25% due to the consequences of the war, the economy in 2022 will shrink by a third with the end of the active phase of the war, the revival of consumer life is expected, the establishment of technological and logistical processes, the restoration of investment

activities, including thanks to perspective of ukraine's european integration, this will enable the economy of ukraine to return to growth. the countries of the european union have agreed on the seventh package of sanctions against russia, in which an embargo on russian gold has entered into force, the president of the european commission, rosula von der leyen, announced this, but this is not enough to stop the aggressor, says president volodymyr zelensky, according to him, russian gas should be subject to sanctions, and then the aggressor country will think about the price of war and stop blackmailing the civilized world we see how wrong was the policy of some old leaders of european countries who made europe hostage to the supply of gas from russia and while the eu does not dare to include gas in of sanctions packages, russia uses gas for

its own sanctions against every european family, it literally hits the family budgets of europeans with the help of pressure on the energy market, in addition, the countries of the european union agreed on another package of military aid for ukraine in the amount of 500 million euros. this was reported by the eu high representative of foreign affairs, jose borel, the decision was agreed upon during a meeting of the contact group on the defense of ukraine, borel also emphasized that the european union remains steadfast in its support for ukraine in the war against russia, and now let's talk about these and other economic news with oleksiy sobolev, director of the state enterprise prozorro sales and a well-known ukrainian economist. good morning to oleksiy. it would be logical to start with the work of your company, what does it do first, and how

does it work during the war or have you not suspended your activities, maybe you are forced to take a vacation? no, we are working, our company is engaged in online auctions. we sell, lease, state and uh communal and private property you can buy anything at our auctions on prozorro.s go and look at the auctions there for everyone, we did not stop for a day during the war, but of course the activity dropped very much, the lowest point was in the first week of may, since then every week the system, well, activity the use of the system is increasing and we see that the business is recovering and little by little it is starting to use auctions again, for example, recently, for example, they closed a very large deal for uah 20 million, and from the sale of real estate, they closed very quickly such it hasn't been there since the war, this means that business

is coming again and is starting to become active . yes, now we have about a third of what was arbitrary and we see that somewhere around 35% to the military level will stabilize in august and then we will look at us there is great expectation that economic recovery will speed up or that jobs will be lost in september because people are returning and i hear from businesses that they have some plans for september and that they are now, for example, preparing this agreement on unblocking ports and selling grain a is big foreign exchange revenue means that it will end up in the country, which means there will be more business and the same. it seems to me that this will be reflected in the indicators of the system. well, we all hope for the revival of the ukrainian economy, but at the same time, there are risks for the national bank of new low currency restrictions, in particular,

the dollar exchange rate changed the e-e fixed on february 24 at the level of about 30 hryvnias, and now the official e-e level is 36.6, almost there 36-57 e, what do they say at the national bank ? in absolute revenue, zakarbudom was in no hurry to sell it. and secondly, it will reduce the amount of speculation that arose due to the large difference in rates between the market and the official rate, the so-called card tourism flourished, but i understand that not everyone is happy because the official rate is increasing, plus the market rate is also rising on this news and i don't know if it crossed the 40 mark yesterday but 38 i saw 38.5 i saw so the updated hryvnia to dollar rate is good or bad it's definitely good why i think so first of all, what are you?

you see in exchangers, it is normal that there will be such fluctuations for a few days, but it will stabilize, i think closer to the official one and will return. that is, it is normal when the system is rebuilt and when there is such a sudden change of 25%. about the fact that exchange rates need to be equated to the market rate. yes , they talked about it for a long time in the exchangers to the official one, and the nbu was gradually moving towards that. of course, now there is business and some are dissatisfied because something is recorded in the contracts, and we also know that fuel was purchased at this official exchange rate and it is probably more expensive it will add a little to inflation, but in general , the effect of the fact that people will stop hiding their income and this currency will come to countries and countries and the fact that there will not be these double exchange rates and uh, these possible manipulations will be higher and

therefore it is simply about the fact that we will have a more stable economy, there is a great article on boxing ukraine, which, by the world's leading economists, describes what we need to do. and this is one of the solutions, which is also cool, and expert opinion says that this is so it is necessary and the government acts in the same way in the same way, it significantly increases confidence in his decisions, and i think that if i don’t know, russia will not triple something very strongly eh or eh hmm , this agreement on our grain export will take place, then the hryvnia’s depreciation will not be far away, but of course we need to see what in it is cheaper, the price reductions that are yes, a large part of it is simply an increase in the price of the dollar, the dollar is more expensive compared to all currencies in the world, almost to much more stable countries in which there

is no war at all. yes, okay, in the euro there are some relations with, well, the consequences of our war, but here, for example is on now it is the cheapest in the last dozen years, just like that, how has the exchange rate of the euro and the dollar changed recently ? an it worker who receives a salary in dollars. well, he hasn't exchanged dollars for hryvnias lately, because he was waiting for the exchange rate to normalize, and now he waited. i think he's celebrating something today, or he celebrated yesterday, but it also affects our debts a-a as if we could now more easily pay off roads with an external creditor a-a or vice versa e-e it made things more difficult for us how does it affect the debt well

, it was more difficult because we had to collect collect more e-e more hryvnias for that to pay the debts, but the government is also now negotiating with the creditors who will postpone the repayment of the debts, yes, we will receive a waiver in english, because they voluntarily say that it is good that you have a war for two years, please do not make payments and then do it if so not a default is that another thing, because russian propaganda already tells about the ukrainian default, there is such a procedure when you can agree with the one who is to blame if you agree voluntarily, that is, amicably, yes, you are not forcing anyone. the only question here is how many will not agree. if i don’t know 100% or 90%,

if they agree, then consider that there is no default because everyone agreed voluntarily. those who do not agree can go to court and demand through the court. pay back your share of debts on time, as stated in the prospectus of this campaign, but again, using a household example, if you took out a loan for a refrigerator and cannot pay, you can come to the same bank and simply ask to change the terms of the loan agreement. this does not mean that you you refuse to pay, you can say that my family circumstances have changed, i want to pay, for example, for 10 years, but for 20, yes, or to take a credit holiday, and now ukraine is asking its creditors for such credit holidays and more as far as i know, the key creditors have already agreed to this and from august 1 they will freeze payments until the end of the 23rd year with a possible extension for another year, but we have other creditors, the international

monetary fund and international financial organizations, but there is still no agreement with them there is a discussion of such a question, was the analogy correct and very correct. that is, we are asking to freeze payments for two years, but we will pay everything that is owed, that is, people simply receive money later and this saves us currency inside the country which means the exchange rate will be more stable, the economy can work more normally, let's talk about the oligarchs now, i have many questions for them, more precisely for you about them, but there are rumors that they will be deprived or already deprived on july 18, as if even copies of documents are circulating er, they deprived kolomoisky of his citizenship, and everyone knows that there is such a person, ihor valeriyovych kolomoisky, a great ukrainian businessman, so, er, there are two versions, if we consider that

this order was, there are two versions. why did this happen? the first version is that zelensky really fights the oligarchs and wants to reduce their influence , and this is how he decided to fight with kolomoisky, and the second version is that there is a law about oligarchs, and if kolomoisky is not a ukrainian citizen, then he does not fall under this law, which version is closer to you well, in general, it’s a bit of conspiracy theory, i understand because there are no official data yet. well, i’m not a political scientist and i don’t particularly understand this, but what to look at, the oligarchs maintain the balance in ukraine, yes, that is, they are not so much. very often they operate in which, well, they operate something because other oligarchs do that, yes, that is, so that no one takes away the assets that we own, they somehow look like this. and , for example, the tv protects them. yes, their assets

are built like this in our system, and what happens when you hear comments regarding the law on oligarchs, uh, from different experts. first of all, you need to ask whether those experts said that the law will not work, because there are many. i remember these discussions, all of them were that this is an absolutely hopeless law that will not do anything, but we see that akhmetov uh he gave up his media licenses and he is closing his channels that were always there. that is, this is the very basis of the entire system of oligarchy and it turns out that okhmatova does not have this weapon that he protects his assets. kolomoisky was not going to give up control for 1+1 judging by his comments, he said that this status would be the norm for him. why? because he is already blocked all over the

world. yes, if akhmetov is prevented from living the life he lives in europe, for example , kolomoisky is already blocked. in addition, the status of an oligarch does not limit him in any way, therefore, here the question arises of some kind of inequality. yes, and it is possible that with this deprivation of citizenship this inequality is evened out. there is something like that in ukraine, but of course yes. this is not my field of competence, but this is a fact, uh, just from the theory of the games, uh, you can see how to maintain this balance . the law that defines who is oligarch is not a political science, but rather a

legislative one, and it is about people who meet at least three criteria out of the four specified laws, one criterion is control over the media, the second is the criterion of influence on politics, the third is to be the beneficiary of some kind of monopoly, and the fourth criterion is monetary it is necessary to have a fortune of more than 1 million minimum living wages. i can’t remember now what amount it is in hryvnias or in dollars, but well, it is a solid amount, there are several tens of millions, and in this way, if akhmetov got rid of television, and his business partner vadim novinsky lost the status of a people's deputy, so he removed two of these four signs, so even if he remains wealthy and controls the monopoly, and many say that he controls the monopoly there on the energy market or on the coal market, that is well, he is no longer a formal oligarch. well, apart from his image, what

else did they threaten him with? well, he will be called an oligarch, maybe everyone who is used to it will say well, it is not such a negative word, no, well, in ukraine, probably so. but there are restrictions there and i understand the logic our legislators, they will write additional laws. yes, when you have a register of oligarchs, you can somehow limit their activities with laws. i don't know. they didn't buy any property in ukraine anymore. they did n't concentrate something, that is, business will be a little more difficult for him. but the most important thing is it seems to me that for many of those who fall into this register of oligarchs, these are restrictions imposed by the western world, because no punks will want to deal with oligarchs. that is, it will be much more expensive and difficult for them to live or do business in europe

because it's just the word oligarch, it's connected to some kind of dishonest, impure money, it will be necessary to do more checks, some banks will say that no, we will not do business with you in order to simply protect ourselves, and not because ukraine wrote something in the law there is simply such a status - it is official and we, as a bank, do not want to contact such a person, they will write about it later in the newspaper, and the damage to the reputation will be much more than any profits. there is already a similar status, which is called pep and probably you are a pep too so eh how is it in english politics lingch plus yes i.e. a person who is involved in political decisions and when you open your business in any bank you are sometimes asked if you are not a people's deputy are you not a public figure and you have to confess

voluntarily if so there will be increased attention to your transfers, that is, if you are also his oligarch , then there will be difficulties in general just with transfers, if to sum up the results of this conversation , after all, the law on oligarchs is working effectively or not and will it help us to overcome such a disease as oligopoly, which has actually developed in our country in recent years well, what exactly must be said first and everyone needs to understand yes, there is no such thing in the world, yes, the law on oligarchs is a ukrainian innovation and we are doing it and showing it to the world well, this problem is not only in ukraine, but there are many countries, i don’t know. hundreds of countries with such a problem. and we show how to do it, so of course you can’t do it right away , because no one knows how to do it. now this is the first thing . the second is that the law definitely works because that's it

there are no tv channels. akhmetov's license was taken away literally yesterday or pisa. yesterday his business partner left the parliament. it's true that the law has an impact on reality and that was his goal. thank you. thank you . yazku thank you very much for your comments, i have the latest short news about the export of ukrainian grain. today, an agreement is to be reached in istanbul by the office of the president of turkey. the president is to participate in the ceremony of signing the agreement . of turkey, as well as representatives of ukraine and russia, but who exactly is being clarified, it is about approving the navigation algorithm in the black sea for safe navigation on this today, all this was news of the economy during the war. i am andriy yanitskyi , espresso tv channel. :00 and at any

some creatures hunt washing machines, and we from ukraine insure our machines online on hotline finance hotline finance insurance online of course we continue our broadcast you are on the espresso channel ihor chicheryna and hanna valevska friday, july 22 and interesting information from estonia the kharkiv district court of estonia recognized three men who were involved in the purchase of drones for the russian army were found guilty of supporting russia's aggression against ukraine, the court found that 40-year-old vladimir with a double by citizenship i understand estonia, russia posted on may 11 on the russian social network vkontakte a public appeal to support russia, organized a fundraiser for the purchase of drones for

the russian army, further in the appeal, the man asked to transfer money for the purchase of drones to his bank account, and the court sentenced the man to one year in prison the prison sentence from which you really have to spend four months, the remaining eight months were replaced by a suspended sentence with a four-year probationary period, the obtained drones were confiscated, items he could buy the convict must also reimburse the procedural costs in the amount of 1,632 euros, and the court also charged two more men who, at the request of vladimir, transferred money for the purchase of drones in order to support russian aggression, he sentenced them to five months of imprisonment with probation for a period of one year and 8 months, vadym denysenko is already with us, the adviser to the minister of internal affairs, mr. vadym, we congratulate you, you wrote to yourself about putin's visit

to iran, that this is a humiliation for him, please explain please give your opinion, well, first of all, everyone paid attention to how the cardigan made putin wait, putin , who was giving rimsky, was late for 1.5-2 hours , you could wait for erdoğan, and everyone saw it was interesting , but the main humiliation was this, the main humiliation was because for the first time in the last 22 years, putin went to the negotiations not from the point of view of power, not from the point of view of the fact that he can push something through, he raised the consoles and from the point of view of requests therefore, this is a huge humiliation for him, he has to travel around the world and ask for help therefore that he does not there are enough weapons and we will have enough high-precision national weapons and it does not have enough opportunities to circumvent sanctions . the pre-war period, but

on the other hand, they have a huge economic slump in the height of the technological industry. and russia does not understand what to do with this, and without serious electronics, without seriously these things, they cannot, in fact, build the latest weapons. i don’t talking about vadim's household items and other negotiations today in turkey, the york times reports that the grain agreement also provides for partial demining of ports, part of the mine barriers near the ports of southern ukraine will be removed within the framework of the agreements on the export of grain, the passage of ships to international ships will be ensured by the ukrainian fleet and security forces, de new reports -york times then foreign crews will deliver ships to istanbul then go to other destinations full demining will be carried out there will be no inspection of ships that they are heading to the port of ukraine to check whether they

are transporting and they will provide weapons, turkey adds the publication, a control center will also be created in istanbul to monitor the operation, and turkish officials will play the main role in inspecting the vessels, mr. volodymyr, how important should this security component be in general during the signing of these agreements and whether this unlocking will threaten us with the landing of amphibious assaults in odessa and other black sea ports, well, the security component of the alpha and omega in general, all these stories are here, let's we will still wait for statements from the ukrainian side. so far, all we hear is either a statement from the turkish side or, uh, solid publications with reference to uh, either un officials or uh, officials in the republic of turkey. well, let's wait for our side, what it will be said from the side of ukraine, from the side of the operation of the ukrainian military and the ukrainian ministry of foreign

affairs, and then we will talk about the realism or unrealism of the unblocking, for sure vadim, the mysteriousness in general, even the composition of the ukrainian delegation does not scare you, because no one he doesn't even know who is conducting the negotiations, who is authorized, who can put what signature under this document. no, it scares me, so i think that if it is approved by the ukrainian military officially, they will say that we are satisfied with the option, so then everything will be fine, let's not look for black a cat in a black room, let's wait for at least some statement from the side of ukraine until ukraine has said that yes, we supported this agreement or not, we did not support the court, let's wait for the official side, and here i think that the issue is really so delicate that uh, we just have to wait a day, two or three, until the ukrainian side says all its pros and cons, mr. volodymyr, one more piece of news that should not be

interpreted as how to treat it. the european police department declares signs of arms smuggling from ukraine. er, the further supply of weapons to us, that’s where this information comes from, says the europol spokesman , and hmm, the media reports that, according to the spokesman , there were recorded cases of trade in firearms and military goods on the black market . there is a risk that the weapons will get into the hands of organized criminals and terrorists were seen leaving ukraine with firearms. there is also concern that weapons and ammunition are stored along the border for smuggling into the european union. i just read this news about this. i think that there will be a corresponding reaction from the ukrainian side because if you talk about that that there are signs from the ukrainian side, that is, in principle, let's show specific examples, specific cases, if someone once brought to the european union, e.e., a

needle gun, conventionally speaking, or even a kalashnikov assault rifle well, this is not a sign that there is mass smuggling of weapons from ukraine, moreover, yesterday there was a special briefing by the minister of defense and the secretary of the national security and defense council of ukraine, who clearly showed the scheme according to which the supply of weapons is carried out, how it is controlled and how control is actually carried out from the moment when the weapons are shipped to ukraine, well, from france or the united states of america and to the point on the front , moreover, there is always control over where the weapons are located . and eh is used what is happening to her in this case? well , i would really like to hear at least some specifics and not simple blah blah about what are the signs, you know, i can say that there are signs that
