Customs payments to the national budget in January 2018 increased by 43.5% compared to January 2017, to UAH 27.1 billion, which is UAH 4 billion, or 16.8% more than the target set by the Ministry of Finance, the State Fiscal Service said on its Facebook page.
Acting Head of the State Fiscal Service Myroslav Prodan said the increase in these figures was influenced by inflation, higher import volumes, and the factor of customs clearance of larger volumes of imported gas.
"However, without combating corruption and smuggling, without effective work on de-shadowing, we would not have achieved such results," he wrote.
