Ukraine’s external debt totals 83% of GDP - Groysman

Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has said that Ukraine’s external debt totals 83% of the country’s GDP.

He stated this in an interview with Forbes Georgia, which was later published on his Facebook page. 

At the same time, he reminded that in 2014, when Arseniy Yatsenyuk became the prime minister, the state budget amounted to UAH 108, 000, as the previous regime brought huge damage to the country. 

"Then there was the annexation of Crimea and incursion into eastern Ukraine. All this together was an unprecedented challenge for us," the prime minister stressed.

At the same time, Groysman assured that Ukraine would undoubtedly become a successful state despite all the challenges.
