Markarova: State budget fulfilled by 93.7% in February

The Minister of Finance of Ukraine Oksana Markarova said that the state budget’s general fund revenues in February fulfilled by 93.7%.

“Despite macroeconomic risks and new global challenges, revenues into the general fund of the state budget totaled 93.7% of planned amount. The new tax service exceeded the plan by 7.1% and revenues amounted to UAH 37.1 billion, which is UAH 2.5 billion more than was planned,” Markarova noted.

According to the minister, the revenues received from the customs service amounted to UAH 22.6 billion, or 78.3% of the planned, due to a more robust exchange rate and a reduction in imports.

All significant expenses were made: state budget spent less on servicing and paying off debt, thanks to professional debt policy and liquidity management.
