7:07 pm
please, good evening to you, vasyl, good evening to everyone who joined our today's broadcast, so today in the column the world is about ukraine, in particular about the following: elections in poland, the situation in israel. well, in fact, the war in israel and the impeachment of the president, about this and other things in a moment in the column world about ukraine. well, i'll start with this: victory or defeat. poland's ruling political party , law and justice, may win the election, but not form a ruling coalition. according to the data of exit polls and in the end. according to the published information at the moment, after counting a certain part of the votes, during yesterday's elections, the record, that is, for the right and justice of the country's deputy prime minister yaroslav kaczyński, 36 of them voted, 36.8% of voters can vote,
7:08 pm
donald tusk's opposition civil coalition can win the support of 31 and 60% of the country's citizens with the right to vote and take the second place , but donald tusk's opposition parties have such great chances to agree with two more parties that enter the diet and thus create a coalition. that is, such an interesting situation can arise in the polish parliament, in the polish sejm, the party which wins, does not create a coalition and ends up in the opposition, while the oppositionists create a coalition and become the ruling coalition, and this despite the fact that under... the president will be from law and justice, well, in this way, today i, for example, in the program world under during the war, at 1:00 p.m. i spoke on the air with the representative of poland and he said, well, the situation is so serious, there may be problems, because in order to push through some solutions
7:09 pm
, donald tusk and his civil coalition will need to somehow persuade president andrzej duda, because he has, he doesn't even has the right, he must ratify the law. and on the other hand, we also had myroslav cheikh on fm halychyna in the morning, he said that, but for certain law-making and legislative initiatives that he will propose, let's say the opposition, which can take the majority and, well, create a coalition in the parliament, can to impose a veto is already anzhiy duda, then we will have to negotiate with him, well, that is, it will be like this , but the system of counterbalances, i think that this is a good story, well, in a democratic state, which is what poland is, because if it was in which state type of russia, then these are problems, even in ukraine, we have already seen problems with yanukovych, his cabal in power, we have seen what it has led to, well, yes, we have seen and witnessed it to our great regret, let’s go further, in iran they said that the representatives
7:10 pm
of the militant group hamas may release about 200 hostages, israeli hostages, in the event that the israel defense forces stop shelling the gaza strip , the spokesman of the ministry of foreign affairs of the islamic republic, nasser kanani, said during a briefing, while in... mas are also demanded in the leadership of israel to extradite all the palestinians who are currently behind bars. i will remind you that hamas militants attacked israel on saturday, october 7, since then, about 1,400 israelis died at their hands, most of them civilians. in response , the idf launched a military operation in palestine that is said to have killed at least 1,500 people. and besides , israel announced a complete blockade of the gas sector. today they talked about the fact that we are at the rafah checkpoint on the border with egypt, the pallets will be allowed through. who want to leave this territory, but later information appeared that
7:11 pm
only those palestinians who have passports of western countries will be allowed through, so it is somehow strange, but information also appeared that israel still allowed water to be supplied to the gas sector , let's see, everything is very serious there, the day before the secretary general of the united nations said that we can stand, the world can stand on the edge of the abyss because of the situation in the middle east. well, despite israel's support in the fight against terrorists from the militant group hamas, the united states of america will continue to help ukraine as much as it will be necessary for us to win. us president joe biden said this in an interview with the 60 minutes program on the air of the american tv channel cbs news. according to him , official washington can help israel and ukraine at the same time. the american president
7:12 pm
emphasized that the american government can and must do this. and then joe biden added. quote: we, the united states of america, for god's sake, the most powerful country in history, not in the world, in history. we can take care of both of these, both of these priorities and still maintain our common interstate defense. well, actually. a great country in the history of the world, just as well as great problems that the world is facing, and therefore, god forbid, let us deal with these problems, let us solve all these problems, but also about helping ukraine. the government of the united states of america will ask congress to allocate more than 2 billion dollars to ukraine. the adviser said that this was broadcast on the american tv channel cbs president joe biden's national security and defense affairs jay. sullivan. congressmen will receive the corresponding submission by the end of this
7:13 pm
week. according to mr. sullivan, the new military aid package will include the necessary military equipment so that ukraine can defend its freedom, sovereignty and territorial integrity. this is the end of the quote. at the same time, it is unclear how the package will pass the house of representatives, given that it is now without a permanent speaker. well, indeed, there, if you look. to the house of representatives, the lower house of the american congress, there are still these quarrels, there are still quarrels about who to nominate and who to vote for speaker, and until there is a permanent speaker, well, the question of allocation of aid can hang very much, i don't know what the matter is, well call, say, well, it is very necessary, yes, and the constitutional court of georgia saw the grounds for starting the procedure and appointing the current president of the country's head , saloma zurabishvili. in today's decision
7:14 pm
, six of the nine judges of this instance decided that at the end of august, the beginning in september of this year, she visited berlin, brussels and paris and held high-level meetings there without the mandatory consent of the government, and thus, according to the judges, she violated the constitution. this resolution will now be sent to the georgian parliament, after which the issue of impeachment will be put to a vote within two weeks. finally, impeachment will take place if 100 out of 150 deputies support him, the ruling party in the parliament has only 804. well, i will keep an eye on it, because, as you can see, the situation is extraordinary, especially since mrs. zurabishvili supports ukraine, but the head of the georgian government , irakli garibashvili, seems to support it, but he still does not want to break with russia. okay, that's all for today in the world about ukraine section, just for today. there will be more tomorrow and there will be more in our next broadcast, so don't switch. well, now
7:15 pm
we will talk about the economy, the liberalization of the exchange rate policy, why such a decision was made, how it affects the economy both globally and personally for every ukrainian, we will talk about it with an entrepreneur long live patron konstantin, mr. konstantin, i congratulate you. greetings vasyl, glad to see and hear, so for your information, in your opinion, where do they come from, or how are changes in the exchange rate policy of the national bank of ukraine formed, how do they affect stability. is it possible to talk about it, well, during the short period of time when this liberalization was introduced? you know, it's too early to talk about it now, because we don't have any analysis of how it affected the economic activity of our state, business, in general, all
7:16 pm
processes, but the fact that the liberalization of the exchange rate is happening is actually very good , because we are going exactly the way things were before the war and exactly the same way that all the countries of the world are going, we should have a rate that is not formed administratively , the national bank, which is formed as a balance, import-export, how the balance of our export -oriented import-oriented industries, our economy is formed , and therefore the path to liberalization is the right path, the only thing is that any right path can be done correctly, and it can be done not very correct, and here we will look, i hope that the national bank has enough competent people , enough specialists who, in this particular situation, in relation to the exchange rate, will do the right thing in order to support the economy of ukraine and support ukrainian citizens, and not in in which case not to cause any damage or to cause damage, to cause damage, but regarding inflation, you know, inflation in ukraine during
7:17 pm
the period of the full-scale invasion also had jump-like periods, it was decreasing somewhere, i don't know if it was negative, hardly, but always little by little, what are the possible consequences of such an exchange rate policy of the national bank on inflation risks in ukraine, what should be expected, well, precisely with reference to this decision, because there are other factors that can to influence inflation, but we are now talking about exchange rate policy , of course, believe that exchange rate policy, it does not live by itself, is somehow disconnected from this other economy, from all other political monetary and fiscal decisions that the national bank also makes of ukraine, and cabinet ministers, of course. if you look when the refinancing rate was 25% per annum in that year and the exchange rate was fixed, that is, it was fixed to the national currency to the hryvnia relative to the us dollar, then this means that all the loans that people took in banks, or for the development of small business or large business or working capital, they cost 25% and above, if we take into account
7:18 pm
the banks' margin, and this is if the bite that was stable was huge. the rate of financing of the national bank to fight inflation, there are no questions, but at the same time, the exchange rate must be floating, it cannot be fixed, because it eats up reserves, and in this situation, non-standard reserves are added to us by our partners, our partner countries are western, but in any non-military situation , it would be impossible to finance all this, we had many times, many situations in our country when the reserves melted and after that the national currency rapidly depreciated, that is, in this situation, as it was, it was impossible to keep the economy going, including , now it is affected by negative factors, such as the unclear situation with the provision of financing from our main partners , including the united states of america, and the unclear, unclear situation regarding
7:19 pm
how the budget deficit will be financed next year, we from what we see today with public. information in the public sphere, sometimes the minister of finance says that we only have today, that is, commitments, obligations of our western partners to finance a little more than one deficit, and how will we finance the following 2/3 of the deficit is incomprehensible, and it will definitely have a huge impact on course formation and on how our entire country will live, its citizens, its economy, its industries, whatever. and which we, if we say either agricultural industry or heavy industry industry or industry in general, so many factors, what the national bank did is right, but i want to tell you, any right thing can be lost very easily, if it is done by people who are incompetent so i hope the national bank has
7:20 pm
competencies of competent people in order to do everything right, but in any case, you say that there are only obligations. to finance a certain part of the budget deficit, and more, well, it is not yet clear what to finance, today i know that the verkhovna rada committee on budget issues made many amendments so that they were included in the draft law on the state budget, will they be included as well it is not yet clear, well, the easiest way to increase the money supply in the budget is precisely this inflation, again yes, but there should be, in your opinion, there can be some, some kind of ceiling, of course, you can pull people for... a lot and when people need it, they will still buy, even if the prices are high, they will simply deny themselves something, but here it is necessary to understand whether there is some kind of ceiling, whether inflation can continue on its own, and then others may appear, or which can affect it, we all understand this perfectly, vasyl, this is economic science, this is economic theory, we see today, look at the western world, why
7:21 pm
the western central banks have raised the refinancing rate, or the cost of money, the most they've seen in 40 years because they're all really struggling with inflation, because inflation is really, what 's killing the economy, what's killing, uh, wealth of countries, wealth of citizens, so we understand today that for us in our country, which is a developing country, which is not a developed country, the level of inflation, certainly in different indicators, depending on how the developing world is going, can fluctuate within five, 8-9% maximum, and therefore, today we are going to have such inflation from 5 to 9%, and we can certainly only have such inflation when we do not print money more than what, what quantity monetary instruments need, that is, these are the usual formulas,
7:22 pm
which are calculated from how the economy is developing, which growth the economy has, it is monetary, monetary different coefficients, and this is what experts calculate, as soon as we start printing more money, it affects inflation, inflation is more than 9%, it kills the wealth of our country, it kills the wealth of the citizens, it then kills the demand, if the demand is killed , then all the industries are killed, from how people consume food, to how they buy refrigerators, cars or apartments, that is, big inflation - this is always bad, that's why the whole world is currently struggling with high inflation, and in our country it's the same situation, it's just that in the united states inflation is targeted at 2%, in the european community 2%, in our... a country that says we are a developing country, today we have a military situation including, that is, we will definitely have higher inflation rates, say, like indonesia or the philippines or brazil or
7:23 pm
any other country , mexico, and we can look at the fact that these should be inflation indicators somewhere, some within the framework of 5-7% of a non-military situation, if we have a military situation, it can be even more. but it cannot last for a long time and it can only be for a limited time because we have to to win this war, we need to finance it somehow. well, the fact that we are again, that we are again, i repeat, that we have come now to the floating rate and the formation rate floating from the national bank, it is very good, but the only thing, you know that a lot of good things start in intentions, but they must be completed professionally, professionally, so that they lead to exactly the expected, good... results for the population, and for ukraine, and for all subjects, us as players in the national markets. if we talk about the course, here is how it affects the
7:24 pm
internal pricing, again, how logical it is, because sometimes you look at prices, i'm even talking about consumer goods, and you don't understand why it's so expensive, but obviously there is some logic, we just don't know it, and prices are affected by competition, the capacity of the domestic market, as far as it is, this competitiveness is sufficient. on the ukrainian market? well, today i can say that the competition is actually limited, because we do not have very many world, international players, we only have our own players ukrainian ones, which are national, which provide some kind of balance between supply and demand, if we had more players, the market would be more liquid, i.e. more supply, more competition, then we would have more competitive prices, i want to say that in fact, unfortunately , today in the situation we have not a true market situation, but a rather distorted one, but this is all the result of the fact that we have military operations on the territory
7:25 pm
of ukraine, and it is very difficult today to want international competitors who would supply us with any products cheaper, than we we have on the market today, although i understand that we have a lot of products on the ukrainian market today, even by world standards, according to world comparisons, they are much more expensive than what we have in europe or in the united states, and this is mostly the result of the war, so that otherwise, if there was a stable situation, a peaceful situation, then all these world market players from europe, the united states, any other developing countries, they would gladly come to the ukrainian market and provide supply, and this would supply would definitely regulate demand and lower prices, we don't have that today, but we understand why, and it's hard to blame the government or the national bank in any way now that we have that, we should in my opinion blame those who brought on the war , and we have this military situation today, when we did not strengthen our army , but weakened it during the last ten years, please tell me, but for the export
7:26 pm
of orientations: business, what is the importance of this exchange rate policy, well, on the one hand, it is clear, that if we sell something and receive dollars, then you exchange these dollars, they have a larger monetary mass in hryvnias, you can have from these dollars, this is very good, but on the other hand it is not very good, please explain these subtleties here , believe me that in the short term, of course, exporters will benefit from this, but they will only benefit in the very short term , because when inflation accelerates, it is very difficult to tame it after that, and without... the population loses, because all the people who receive hryvnias they have their own incomes and all your monetary savings, which are in the national currency, those that depreciate, and in this situation, well, there can be nothing good in this, that is, we have a short-term good effect for exporters, which is actually not good in the long term, even for exporters, if ukraine becomes poor, if
7:27 pm
it, excuse me, loses the possibility of solvent demand everywhere in the country, in all industries and in all parts of its economy, then this affects the credit rating, the credit rating of the country is low credit rating, foreign capital, foreign investors do not come here , it is very difficult to find financing even for export-oriented businesses, and if there is such financing, then it is very short-term and very expensive, if it is very... expensive and very short-term, this means that we, as export-oriented enterprises and as an economy, cannot invest money, any long-term projects that would have a payback, that is , inflation is actually evil, and when we have an exchange rate that underlies inflation in the country, it has
7:28 pm
this is supposed to be like for drug addicts good short-term short-term effect, but very, very short-term, but very bad long-term, long-term effect, so believe me that a balanced exchange rate policy that will find a reasonable compromise with our military situation today, the needs of the economy, after that, it will be good to balance the financial assistance, namely the main balance of our trade balance and or our financial account, that is, when we will have an understanding of how we will finance imports and how much we will to receive from exports, it should be done by competent specialists, it has a great impact on the present and the future, and believe me, as i said, receiving a little supposedly more today, in fact we, thank god in the following periods, in fact, thank god in next generations, it's not very good, no country in the world that does everything
7:29 pm
properly, that does it professionally. did it professionally and precisely for the sake and prosperity of its population for the future, it certainly does not do this so that the short-term effect get today, and after that kill all your opportunities for the future. thank you very much for your expert comments, thank you for joining us, konstantin dzhevago was with us on the air, an entrepreneur, patron, about how the liberalization of the exchange rate, exchange rate policy affects certain aspects of our economic life with you, in fact. interesting and i think you learned and understood more, now there will be a short pause, then we will continue talking about the economy with oleksandr morchivka. stiffness in the joints and spine, osteochondrosis, gout, radiculitis, arthritis and arthrosis with all these problems, you will find the means for external use of decrasin useful. consultations by phone: 08215-349. calls are free. it's hard
7:30 pm
to talk about what you feel. you have urinary incontinence, an unpleasant situation can arise at any time, even from a slight effort. fortunately, this is behind me, feminost uro helped me. thanks to its natural ingredients, feminost uro helps restore control over urination during the day and at night. now i feel confident. feminust uro, urination under control. damn stairs my legs can't walk anymore. wait, i'm suffocating that there is no health? but what kind of health is there, on the sixth somewhere. i thought so until i tried herovital. gerovital + is a phytovitamin complex that cares for the heart and strengthens the body. gerovital + good health, active life. the novelty of gerovital energy is even more iron for
