The state budget of Ukraine received UAH 583 billion in revenues in the first half of 2021, which is UAH 35 billion more than the target plan for this period and UAH 63 billion more than in the first half of 2020.

Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said this during an Hour of Questions to the Government in the Verkhovna Rada on Friday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

He reminded that among the priorities of the Cabinet of Ministers are economic recovery, improving the investment climate and macroeconomic stability.
