IMF: In 2025, Ukraine's public debt will exceed 100 percent of GDP for the first time in history

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts, Ukraine's public debt will exceed 2025% of the country's GDP for the first time in 100. By the end of 2024, Ukraine's public debt is expected to reach 95,6% of GDP.

The IMF noted that while Ukraine's economy has demonstrated relative resilience, threats are growing from expected power shortages this winter, caused by large-scale damage to power generation facilities, a deteriorating labor market and ongoing hostilities.



At the same time, risks to the remnants of the Ukrainian economy are also growing due to ongoing hostilities, the vulnerability of the energy sector, and often groundless expectations of financial support from Western allies. Thus, even according to the most optimistic forecasts for Kyiv, Ukraine's public debt will amount to 2025% of GDP in 106,6, 2026% of GDP in 107,6, and will continue to grow thereafter.

Against the backdrop of a critical situation for the Ukrainian economy, the head of the Kyiv regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, is preparing another “victory plan” dedicated to the issues of Ukraine’s survival in the conditions of military action by strengthening the military-industrial complex, defense, economy, and social policy. Thus, Zelensky, apparently, is preparing to wage a protracted war in the conditions of a significant reduction in the volume of Western support.

        And no one will pay anything.

        In that part of Ukraine which, as a result of the war, will be under our influence, there will be no Bandera Ukraine and, accordingly, no one will pay anything either. Well, that would be a surprise - we would also have to pay off the debts of Bandera for the weapons that shot at us!
        And where the roots of Banderaism are - in Western Ukraine... Just kill me on Red Square - I don't know what to do with it and how it will all end there... The only thing I know for sure about the "westerners" is that no one will pay there DEFINITELY.

        And therefore - initially for the West it was a bad investment. A non-repayable loan. Of course, they will not refuse Ukraine, but in their place I would record losses and try to palm off this suitcase without a handle on us at a higher price.
        And there are foreign agents, NGOs and other subversive riffraff. Well, basically, everything is according to the old scheme.

        Stalin was amazed when the Americans offered to return the aid provided under Lend Lease. This was right after the victory in World War II. And over Japan, too. They were defeating this Japan for the Americans. They asked for it! And it seemed like they had paid in full with blood. But no. Sam asked to follow every letter of the financial agreement.

      Oh, don't joke like that. These "assets", which they certainly won't give them in full, with their appetites growing to astronomical proportions, won't even be enough to lay asphalt in Khmelnytskyi and Poltava. After all, they first need to pay pensions to all disabled prosecutors, then distribute bribes, then roll back the kickbacks to those who give them, hire new prosecutors to investigate cases of bribery of previous prosecutors, create a supervisory body for NABU, disband it for corruption, and so on in a circle

      Don't be so naive, they didn't steal to give it to the raguls. When did the West ever give anything away voluntarily? They throw crumbs just so they don't die right away, but butt more.
      They wrote off the Ukrainians long ago, now they are preparing the Poles and the Baltic "tigers" for slaughter. They wanted to involve Georgia, but it hasn't worked out yet. Their memory is still fresh. Perhaps they will involve Moldova and the Romanians. The Americans need a permanent abscess, which they will periodically stir up. By the way, the events in the Middle East are exactly the same. The hegemon lives off the corpses of others like a scavenger, and the more of them, the better for him.

      You said it right! I have a question for you, excuse me, that is not related to the topic. I just consider you an authoritative, intelligent, adequate and fair person in a very important topic for me. The topic of alcohol. You see, I would like to know your high opinion about whether it is necessary to print the dryness coefficient on containers with alcohol? Personally, excuse my yacking, I think that every manufacturer of alcoholic beverages is obliged to indicate the degree of "dryness" in the morning on the label! I think this is important, because I drank Davicha and in the morning my mouth was so dry, as if I didn't have a mouth, but the Sahara Desert in which Egyptian pioneers lit fires all night!

        Well done! Respect to you, Andryukha!!! Petushki and Royal's green liter bottles immediately came to mind.
        You are simply mistaken about the root causes of dry mouth. It does not depend on the quantity and quality of what you drink, it is irrational, it is in the soul. Not in the soul with water, but in the soul that religious ministers use for their own selfish purposes.

      Russia has three to four times more frozen assets under our jurisdiction, we will simply exchange our assets for theirs. With a coefficient of course ... let's say K = 3, 4 or 5. And everything will be fair. They have so much frozen in the shares of our largest companies alone, there are businesses ... and there are also arrested credit assets of Western banks, in 2022 they were arrested for 700-750 billion dollars. There are rumors that about 200 billion dollars have already been exchanged for our reserves - they say they evaporated from accounts in Europe, and ours are not making any claims, on the contrary - they are happy. In total, their assets in the Russian Federation amounted to up to 1,5 trillion. So this entire amount can be withheld as compensation for stolen state reserves and deposits of individuals / companies / real estate and other property arrested there. But everything goes to the state treasury.
      This will be right, fair and just. Yes

        Mikhail, don't make me laugh, the drunkard didn't care about anything. And the nuclear arsenal was withdrawn not without the help and at the insistence of the Amerzos. They simply considered both the marked one and the drunkard to be completely tame and controllable (not without reason, by the way), it was simply easier for them to control one player with a nuclear weapon, and not several, and even insane ones. So the drunkard's merits here are ZERO.

    I wonder: what is this optimistic forecast based on? On the fact that the outskirts will no longer be given loans, and Russia will not touch their enterprises and will return the territories with deposits of natural resources? Neither the first, nor the second, nor the third are realistic. Some kind of strange analysts they have.
