Handouts of the IMF beggar – Ukraine

Ukraine beg, and on the other, and not say, another loan from the IMF.

 

Подачки МВФ попрошайке - Украине

IMF chief Christine Lagarde, for pleasure Pat on the shoulder cues for “some signs of stabilization” (although in the official statement the Fund said that the next tranche was given to Ukraine “as an exception” as key provisions of the cooperation program with the Fund was not implemented)…

 

Careful reading: jewels 1 billion USD and, according to “the king of the great Ukrainians”, “Ukrainian producers did not get as much as $ 15 billion from the downturn in Russia”.

 

Hate Russia and at the same time… Import of the alleged “aggressor”, even increased and exceeds export twice.

 

In some areas, such as Odessa, the purchase of Russian goods grew up to eight times!

 

All this allows to conclude that sadomasochism was the essence of the economy and government policy.
 

For example, the IMF suggests that while the Pension Fund is not stable, nothing will. But to stabilize the pension system after the Council of Western “guru” was half reduced social payments from the business, only a radical increase in the retirement age.

 

To 70 years at least, had offered to make the European experts have Yanukovych, however, he is self-destructive “improvement” to go did not dare.
 

Another requirement is the introduction to the end of October, “a temporary mechanism of adjustment of tariffs of gas and heating” on a quarterly basis, if the rates deviate from the level of full cover imported gas price by 10% or more.

 

For the uninitiated explain: we are talking about that if the price of gas will rise and your utility bills will be at least 10% below the “full coverage imported gas price” — the price will be revised upwards immediately without any separate decision of the government.
 

But for all that the Minister of Finance of Ukraine Alexander Danilyuk claims that the IMF loan will help Kiev to achieve financial stability. “A very positive signal for investors. Tranche will go to the reserves of the NBU (national Bank of Ukraine) and contribute to stability of hryvnia exchange rate, and hence the stability of the financial system,” he said.

 

Another positive point: the support of the IMF gives Ukraine the opportunity to still gain from European banks ‘ loans to buy imported gas at $ 500 million.
 

This means that Europe will be more likely to freeze in winter.

 

Taken together, all this, of course, support the Ukrainian economy, but is unlikely to bring it out of pique. To exit from a crisis is that Ukraine learned to earn more than you spend, and far from it.

 

Exports and remittances of migrant workers have been and remain the major sources of currency coming into the country, but both this source after the Maidan fail for good reason: with Russia, the bonds are broken, and with Europe in the same way does not work out.

In order to estimate the effect of IMF reforms, any Ukrainian enough to open your wallet, count the money and remember how much money there was in September 2013, when Ukraine did not take credits and do not fulfill the brilliant recommendations of the IMF.
 

For reference: in 2013, Ukraine actually paid off the IMF loans. Then had to pay about $ 2 billion, and it could once and for all and give up bad tips and advice.

 

But after independence our government is very fond of the IMF and started to take out new loans. As a result will need to repay about $ 12 billion. No one asks the question, how do we these loans will repay…
 

As reported TASS, at a press conference, world Bank Director for Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova satu Kähkönen did not cut corners: “the Economic forecasts for Ukraine will remain weak. There can be new imbalances, and the population will feel the negative effects. This is the main message”.

 

Made further forecast could be the sentence for Poroshenko and company: “Without new the reform momentum of economic growth is not possible.”

 

A curious life it is…
 

As I understand it, the Supreme value of the state — its people. And here is the “highest value” results in the creation of intolerable conditions for life.

 

For anybody not a secret that high tariffs for housing and communal services in conditions of protracted socio-economic crisis in the country, to the critical level reduces the viability of families. People are no longer able to provide himself with the Essentials – quality food, medications, pay for children’s education, to provide financial support to their elderly parents.

 

Tens of thousands of citizens driven to despair: pensions and salaries have depreciated three times, and tariffs have grown significantly. I want to remind you that high tariffs will result in a catastrophic growth of debt, which may result in the collapse of the housing and communal services, which will result in reduced production and supply of heat and energy in houses of inhabitants of Odessa.

 

The population debt at the end of July 2016. was to pay for gas – 290,8 million, for Central heating and hot water – 266.9 m million UAH on the maintenance of houses and constructions and house adjoining territories – 142.8 million UAH, for the centralized water supply and drainage – 85,8 million UAH, for the export of household waste – 27,5 mln. that will further affect the social tension in the region, including in the city.

 

For Odessa it is necessary to fight to leave as it was created by a multinational with its own traditions and way of life.
