Under martial law, the priority of the state budget for next year is the security and defense sector, as well as ensuring all the state’s social obligations, according to the Ministry of Finance.
According to Deputy Minister Roman Yermolichev, spending on pensions and social security will not decrease next year, and some will increase.
“About UAH 5.5 billion will be allocated to provide housing for war veterans, because this category of citizens is very important. Timely payment of pensions, social benefits, salaries to doctors and teachers will also be ensured. The minimum wage is at the level of December this year,” emphasized Ermolichev.
The Deputy Minister noted that medicine remains a funding priority for next year, and discussions continue with the National Health Service and the Ministry of Health regarding the balance of funds in the accounts of medical service providers. It is planned to organize the program of medical guarantees, but basic medical services will be provided financially.
