The maximum volume of the state budget deficit will increase to UAH 1.106 trillion. “5.9 times more than the peacetime plan in the first version of the 2022 budget,” the town representative clarified.
And the maximum amount of public debt in the amount of up to UAH 3.64 trillion has increased by 33.7% since the beginning of 2022.
