2024, this is an extremely important decision, the draft budget is balanced, the draft budget is realistic, the draft budget is based on refined macroeconomic indicators and provides quite significant resources for so that we look at the situation differently next year, we had the funds to solve those urgent problems, first of all... the security and defense sector that we have now, that we face every day, so i have for you hoping for your support. and an operational decision on the adoption of the main financial document for 2024. thank you for attention. early reply. thank you let's move on to questions for

the speaker, please sign up for questions. please, mother hryhoriy mykolavych, platform for life and peace, please pass it on koltunovych, koltanovych, oleksandr seriyovych, thank you, dear minister, i would like to draw your attention to foreign borrowing and borrowing in general in the draft budget. uah we plan to borrow, 1.7 uah is external borrowing, i saw the estimates of the ministry of finance and your statements that out of 41 billion dollars 29 of your external financing is not confirmed , it is external financing that is 71%, these are very large numbers, and considering on the fact that we see that

in the united states the changes to the budget are adopted, we see the position of the european commission slovakia and hungary, in connection with this question, what instruments of diversification of financial income will you use, are you planning emission operations by the national bank, if so, will the consumer price index or inflation be adjusted, and will the entire macroeconomic forecast, taking into account the possible risks, which , among other things, the national bank of ukraine defines in its inflation reports, thank you for the answer, thank you, dear mp, an important question, of course we are in a certain, in a certain uncertainty, part of external financing, do we have other options, of course, and because assurances of support for ukraine for 115 billion us dollars and for a four-year, four-year program were given by

the g7 countries, that is, it is not, we are not talking about dependence on one country or from several countries, and in my last meeting with the finance ministers of the g7 countries, i raised the question that if in the event that one country could not implement its assurances, what would happen next, the other finance ministers said that they will find a solution behind the scenes, a systemic solution to close those issues that now need to be closed, and at the same time, i am more than sure that the united states administration will find a solution to support ukraine, because firstly, this is grant support, we do not it will be necessary to return these funds, secondly, it is extremely critical for us, it is an indicator of support, and this signal is quite clearly understood by all other countries, including the european union. regarding the package of the european union, negotiations are underway, we

insist that for next year the support from the european budget was precisely the budget of ukraine in the amount of 18 billion euros, they also understand this and listen to us, so i hope that we will be able to ensure that we are not talking about any emission financing at this stage, i hope that we will be able to ensure macroeconomic stability and find the necessary volume of external resources, because this is really very important for inflation and other macroeconomic indicators. thank you, please, servant of the people of bakumov. dear minister, oleksandr bakumov, 173rd electoral district of the city of kharkiv, i am addressing you with the following question. amendment 1262 was rejected in the first reading by the verkhovna rada of ukraine, i put it for confirmation, and the majority of colleagues in this hall, dear colleagues, we all rejected

the amendment to reduce the funding of the national academy of legal sciences by uah 35 million. this is fixed in stenagra. and in the decision of the verkhovna rada of ukraine. dear mr. minister, you ignored the decision of the parliament and reduced the funding of the national academy of legal sciences for uah 35 million. you did it yourself, because you probably wanted to, contrary to the will, the will of the people, we represent and express the will of the people here. therefore, i would like to clarify why you did this and how you will correct your mistake. thank you. thank you for the question, you understand when you give us the task to reduce the funding of this or that body. without the next step, how should we get out of the situation, should we liquidate it, should we close it, what should we do with

the dismissal of these employees, so we are forced to answer this by saying that until there is a clear picture of the decision as a whole for the body that you propose to completely reduce funding, the salaries of the employees of such a body should be paid equally, because otherwise there will be a situation in which i... to you to come in january, in february and ask for an increase in the funding of this body, so we think with all due respect to you that if you propose to significantly reduce the salary of the body, you should propose what solution you propose, if you propose to eliminate this body, it can also be a decision, but it must again be approved by the entire

verkhovna rada of yours. voice vasylchenko, please, galina vasylchenko, fraction voice, mr. serhiy, i have three short questions for you, the first of which concerns our international support in general. assistance of our internationals , are there any alternative measures, alternative measures, alternative proposals, if such assistance is reduced, or in the wrong amount, which we are now counting on, this is the first question, the second question, which key programs to support business, to support entrepreneurship are foreseen, and the third question in connection with the fact that the military pdf will now go to the state budget, actually most of the communities on territory... of ukraine, it will be unsustainable, then in what way will the communities be supported? thank you. thank you for your question. regarding

external support, yes, of course, if we see the risks, the possibility that to some extent this support will not be will be received, we will contact you with appropriate proposals regarding a possible reduction of expenses, increase of income, redistribution of resources, as with we have already done this in the relevant bill 1037. i want to remind you that the resource of this bill is uah 25 billion, it allows us to balance the internal extremely critical expenditures of the security and defense sector as a resource. so we have a lot of options, but we would certainly like to get out of those conditions if we don't have to resort to the cost-cutting option, because by and large, you understand very well that those expenses that could have already been reduced, we have already reduced them as much

as possible, this year, for the first time since the beginning of the war, we foresee the indexation of the salaries of teachers and doctors, this is critical, because people are actually two years are in difficult living conditions, despite the fact that the inflation rate last year was 26%, so indexation is necessary, regarding business support, we have separate programs. in the amount of about uah 31 billion, in particular, these are compensation programs of interest rates of the enterprise development fund, the so-called program 579 18 billion uah, grants 1 billion 37 billion uah, partial compensation of the cost of equipment billion, industrial parks stimulation billion, provision of investment projects 3 billion, humanitarian demining 2 billion, functioning of the development of innovations. fondura billions, that is, there are development programs that

will allow us to support the development of business, yurchyshyn and the railway, mr. minister, first of all, congratulations once again. it's a pity that during the consideration of the budget , we have so few people in the hall, and not much will be heard your answer, but from the questions that colleagues have already asked, whether it is good or bad, but they somehow relate to international support, it is good that all people's deputies understand how critical it is, i would ask you to be very brief about donors, to once again tell the people's deputies where we plan to get $41 million for financing and, especially, what is

the risk for the $29 billion that you recently, if i'm not mistaken, in an interview with reuters. did bloomberg for mentioned as the biggest risk, if you can, once again, so that all people's deputies hear how much it the question is critical, thank you, thank you, yaroslavov, for your question, indeed, given our dependence on foreign aid, there are many indicators that do not depend on us, the only thing we can do is not to give us any reason for this aid... reduced, this is key, because, unfortunately, sometimes there are many reasons, and even the rhetoric of negotiations with our key partners, it changes, and the desire and search to find a so-called excuse, sorry, i will call it in a foreign language, often, often faints, about 29 billion, it is true

the issue has not yet been fully resolved. however, there are clear assurances that the aid will come in rhythm and in the amount that is needed, and that is enough for us, that is enough for the partners from the international monetary fund, who, in the absence of these funds, cannot continue the program, as the program continues now. just before this moment, there is a mission, and active negotiations are underway, so we hope that this issue will also be closed. as for who exactly should predict us, i already mentioned, we expect 5.4 billion us dollars, from the international monetary fund , from the united states, we are talking about 8.5 billion us dollars for next year, from the european commission , we are talking about the european union, we are talking about 18 billion euros, we are also negotiating with

the government of canada, with the government of norway. with the government of japan and the government of south korea about the possibility of finding alternative sources of financing the budget deficit, so the work continues, i hope for your support, and now ruchyshyn yaroslav ivanovich, please pass it on to irina friez, irina friez. thank you sincerely, mr. minister, i have a question for you regarding spending directly on the ministry of defense, you claim that it has increased, but considering the figures announced in the budget, we see that spending on the ministry of defense is decreasing. moreover, an appeal was also sent to you by the specialized committee on national security, referring to the applications of the security and

defense sector, regarding the need to increase funding, at least eight times the spending on security and defense, you increase on the dbbr, on the prosecutor general's office, on baby, for the state customs service, for the tax service, and the ministry of defense does not increase, given the increase in the prices of weapons on foreign markets, you must understand that your 215 billion, which you are trying to accumulate and it is not known how you will distribute through pdf, which you want to collect, and in fact do not give the military units the opportunity to provide themselves in the priority directions that they are now themselves, a very important question, i want to immediately make the right accents, yes, indeed, the needs of the security and defense sector in 10, 8-10 times higher than those included in

the budget, let's just count, the amount is 1.7 three hryvnias. this is what we have now, this is us, it is much higher than the taxes we collect, this is the amount we cover at the expense of all taxes and at the expense of borrowing, let's imagine that we have 17 trillion hryvnias, let's imagine , this means the following, with gdp with gdp in families, well, next year is expected to be 7.8, this means the following, that we need somewhere to take another 10 tril hryvnias. this is more than 100% of gross domestic product, no, absolutely cosmic, these funds will not appear artificially or in some magical way, this must also be understood. they can appear only if our domestic product will grow
