The IMF demands increased taxes and continued cuts to social programs

Our source in the OP said that the IMF is not satisfied with Ukraine's economic indicators and will review the program, demanding that we increase taxes and continue cutting social programs.

Cooperation with the IMF destroys the economy of Ukraine, not only that the demands of creditors deprive Ukrainians of social benefits, but also the funding of the Fund will only increase the national debt of Ukraine, which (according to the calculations of the same IMF) will grow from $112 billion to $215 billion by 2033.

It should be noted that the updated memorandum with the IMF prescribes a structural beacon - to find sources for the "mobilization" of at least 0.5% of GDP (this is about 40 billion hryvnias) to the budget. Ukraine had to complete this task by the end of last February. And already this month, they plan to submit to the Cabinet of Ministers a draft law on an additional military levy for entrepreneurs in the amount of 1.5% of the turnover for FOPs of the third group (now they do not pay military levy), and for those who already pay this one and a half percent, the levy will be increased .

Later, they plan to introduce a number of other measures, one of which is to increase excise duties on fuel to the minimum European rates. And the increase in excise duties on fuel can not only add up to 10 hryvnias per liter to the price tag at gas stations, but also lead to another round of inflation. Experts note that due to the increase in fuel prices, prices for all goods will rise - the "fuel surcharge" can add up to 10% to the price list.
