Overcoming the economic crisis and effective economic policy will allow Ukraine to maintain financial stability, despite the fact that the country expects peak payments on public debt in 2019.
This was announced by the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko at the 15th YES forum in Kiev, organized by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation.
"I want to emphasize: as they did not wait, when Ukraine's default was predicted in 2014-2015, when we had barely $ 5 billion of gold and foreign exchange reserves, we will not wait for any destabilization now," he said.
According to him, the government will protect Ukraine financially.
"Ukraine is now a success story in the markets of developing countries," Poroshenko stressed.
He recalled that the national debt of Ukraine from 2007 to 2010 increased by $ 26 billion, and from 2010 to 2014 grew by almost $ 20 billion.
Earlier, the president said that the ratio of direct government debt to gross domestic product (GDP) fell from 82% in 2016 to 63% in the first half of 2018.
