Prime Minister of Ukraine Oleksiy Honcharuk has said that the main task of the government for the next five years is to increase the country's economy by at least 40%.

He said this during a meeting with the leadership of the Verkhovna Rada, the government and law enforcement agencies at the Office of the President on Monday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“The main goals for the next five years have been set before the government. The first one is economic growth. We set a goal for the economy of Ukraine to grow by at least 40% over the next five years. This is a very ambitious but realistic goal. For this purpose, we created a serious team in the Economy Ministry, which has already begun to work on this task. According to our estimates, this will contribute to the creation of about a million new jobs,” Honcharuk said.
