The Ministry of Economy has signed the first ordinance on the list of domestically produced machinery and equipment to which the state will refund 15%. The list includes products from nine Ukrainian manufacturers. This was announced by Yuliia Svyrydenko, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy of Ukraine.
“The list includes 88 items from 9 Ukrainian manufacturers – buses, trucks, elevators, trailers, tanks and agricultural machinery. Accordingly, by purchasing them, a person can receive a 15% compensation from the state through the program’s partner banks. I invite other manufacturers with 40% or more localization to join the program. Our goal is to support producers, make them more competitive and stimulate demand for their products,” said Yuliia Svyrydenko.
Andrii Teliupa, Deputy Minister of Economy, said that the document included companies that had applied within the first week after the program had been launched.
“Not much time has passed since the Government’s decision. However, many companies have already applied for the program, which proves the relevance of the program for the national producer. We continue to accept applications, and the list of machinery and equipment will be expanded. We plan to update the list every week, depending on the activity of the companies. We are currently negotiating with the banks through which buyers will receive compensation. After signing the memorandums, the program will be launched for buyers,” said Andrii Teliupa.
The decision to launch the compensation program was made by the Cabinet of Ministers on September 24.
Buyers can receive the 15% compensation (excluding VAT) for the purchase of power, wheeled, construction and special equipment. (Government portal)
