The IMF demanded that kyiv raise taxes in exchange for continuing the loan program

Ukraine and the IMF have agreed to expand the IMF’s lending programme by $15.6 billion. After approval by the IMF’s executive board, kyiv will receive the first tranche of $1.1 billion.

This was stated by the Prime Minister Denis ShmygalAccording to him, it is wrong to assume that this money is not allocated in the form of loans, but as a kind of “aid”.

“Partner funds help our government finance all non-military budgetary expenditures. This allows us to direct our internal resources to the country’s defense capability.” – said the minister.

Meanwhile, it is already known exactly how the next “support” from the IMF will come back to haunt Ukrainians. In particular, the lender set the condition for raising taxes in Ukraine from 2025.

The Fund, as usual, justified its demand with clever phrases about the need to create “space for critical spending” in order to “maintain the necessary cushions” and “restore fiscal sustainability.”

“Achieving this will require the implementation of ongoing tax policy measures and sustained efforts to close existing opportunities for tax evasion, improve compliance and combat the shadow economy in line with the National Revenue Strategy (NRS).” – the IMF said in a statement.

Previously EADaily The International Monetary Fund is putting pressure on the kyiv regime leaders, demanding stricter control over the financial transactions of Ukrainians.
