Zelensky: Ukraine's financial system under control

The Ukrainian economy is stabilizing, and the country's financial system is under control, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.

He stated this at the opening of the seventh session of the Verkhovna Rada on Tuesday, February 1, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"Our economy is stabilizing. Everything is under control in the financial system. Revenues to the budget in January were over-fulfilled by UAH 7 billion. The hryvnia today, thank God, feels better. Yesterday it strengthened by 30 kopecks. We are gradually returning to a stable and projected exchange rate," Zelensky said.

According to him, for almost a week, there has been positive dynamics in the international financial markets with respect to Ukrainian bonds.

"Their quotations are returning to their previous level, so the financial world is optimistic about Ukraine's future," Zelensky said.

Earlier, at a meeting with foreign media last week, Zelensky said that at least $4-5 billion would be needed to stabilize Ukraine's economy.
