Groysman: Cabinet to introduce realistic 2017 budget project in September
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has promised to submit a draft of state budget for 2017 to the parliament in September, Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has said.
"I see that today we are criticized for the fact that presumably, in September, we would not introduce the budget to the Ukrainian parliament. I believe that our commitment for today is to introduce the Ukrainian budget for 2017 to the parliament in September," he said, opening the government meeting on Wednesday.
The premier noted that the government had been submitting false budget with unrealistic incomes, which didn’t exist in reality.
"We have to make an absolutely honest budget to the Ukrainian parliament (...) It will be absolutely realistic budget, not a populist one," the government head assured.
