This year, supporting and developing the economy remains one of the primary objectives of the Government. This was emphasised by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during a session of the Cabinet of Ministers on January 7.
“We keep implementing successful programmes that help businesses and contribute to the economic recovery of the country. More than 23,000 non-refundable grants have already been issued under the eRobota programme, with 11,000 grants issued in 2024. These are tens of thousands of new jobs. Billions of hryvnias of taxes paid to the central and local budgets. The programme will operate this year as well,” said Denys Shmyhal.
The Prime Minister stressed that almost 15,000 mortgage loans worth over UAH 24 billion had been issued under another programme, eOselia.
“The Government has decided to allocate another UAH 20 billion this year for the implementation of the programme so that as many Ukrainians as possible can buy their housing. As before, priority will be given to the military, veterans, doctors and teachers,” the Prime Minister underlined.
According to Denys Shmyhal, thanks to a functioning economy, the Government can finance the army, increase weapons production, help those most in need and rebuild our country.
Thus, in 2024 the general fund of the state budget received UAH 2 trillion 177 billion. UAH 271 billion was paid in corporate income tax alone.
“All this would not have been possible without Ukrainian business. I am grateful to every entrepreneur who continues to work, saves jobs, pays taxes, supports the army, believes and invests in Ukraine,” the Prime Minister emphasised. (Government portal)
