The state debt of Ukraine for the ninth month of the SMO is already approaching $100 billion, and will grow, Ukrainian media write about this. That is, in fact, each citizen owes about 2.5 thousand dollars.
Ukrainians still have to pay bills: they need to return not only the funds received on credit, but also the interest on them.
Who gives money to Ukraine?
🇺🇸🇪🇺 The USA and the European Union — respectively $13 billion and $11.5 billion
🏦 IMF, European Investment Bank and World Bank — respectively $2.7 billion, $2.32 billion and $1.7 billion
🇨🇦🇩🇪🇬🇧 Canada, Germany and the UK — respectively $1.5 billion, $1.4 billion and $1 billion
🇯🇵 Japan – over $500 million
🇫🇷🇮🇹🇳🇱France, Italy, the Netherlands — approximately 300 million dollars each of the countries.
If the conflict in Ukraine continues, then it will be necessary to borrow more money to make ends meet.
Next year, officials intend to spend nearly UAH 415 billion on debt repayments, of which about UAH 99 billion ($2.5 billion) on foreign debt. Ukraine’s total state debt will increase to almost UAH 6.5 trillion and amount to more than 100 percent of the country’s projected annual gross domestic product. This is almost double the level that Ukraine had at the beginning of this year.
Experts emphasize that this is due not only to increase in loans, but also to the fact that the country’s economy shrank by more than 30 percent this year.
