By KYIV. Dec 29 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal announced the indexation of pensions in Ukraine for March 2024 as provided by law.
“Financing the 2024 budget deficit and the macro-financial situation have become the topic of active discussions in recent days. Next year, Ukraine will need more than $37 billion in external financing. We, of course, count on the support of our international partners. After all, there are now agreements with 11 states on multi-year financing programs. There is an extended fund facility with the IMF. There is support from other international financial institutions,” Shmyhal said at a government meeting on Friday.
The Prime Minister said that the government clearly understands what tools and options it has.
“And most importantly, pensions will be paid in due time in the future. Indexation will take place in March 2024, as provided by law. The salaries of teachers and doctors will also be paid on time,” he said.
Shmyhal recalled that, despite all the difficulties and challenges, during almost two years of war the government never delayed social payments.
