All international financial institutions are expecting positive changes
in the Ukrainian economy, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has stated.
"Both the IMF and the World Bank, the EBRD and
other international financial institutions clearly state they are expecting
positive changes for the better in 2016," the president said during his
visit to Ternopil.
He noted that Ukraine has adequately overcome the
challenges it faced in 2014-2015.
"These challenges could lead to default, there
was the threat of bankruptcy of the banking system, and we did not allow a
default," the head of state said.
In addition, he said the authorities are taking steps
to improve the situation in public procurement, ensuring the energy
independence of the country.
"Of course, in the conditions when Russia decided
to declare an embargo on a significant part of Ukrainian goods... we
demonstrated that we are able to defend ourselves. Today we are energy
independent, because when Russia tried to block gas supplies, we said we would
dispense without your gas," Poroshenko said.
