The Cabinet of Ministers
supported a bill on correcting the 2006 budget, which will be sent to the
Parliament next week. According to Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych,
implementing changes to the budget will allow to significantly correct the
budget's shortage, Cabinet press office reported.
According to the bill,
drafted by the Finance Ministry, the Govt proposes to increase budgetary
revenues in 2006 by 1.6 bn. UAH (320 M. USD), expenditures by 1.8 bn. UAH (360
M. USD). According to the Finance Ministry, exceeding expenditures of the
general fund over the revenues by 0.2 bn. UAH won't influence the budget's
deficit, as this means will be compensated by higher volumes of paying back
credits to the state budget. The bill on changes to the 2006 budget provides
for additional 4.1 bn. UAH incomings (800 M. USD) from higher transfers from
the State Customs Service and other agencies. The plan of collection of
imported VAT is supposed to grow by 600 M. UAH (120 M. USD). At the same time,
the Finance Ministry acknowledges that the privatization plan was underfulfilled
at least by 1.5 bn. UAH. The State Tax Administration is expected to underfulfill
the plan by 2 bn. UAH, too,
The budget's
expenditures fund will be reduced by 1.5 bn UAH, which 1.13 bn will be spared
in servicing the state debt and credits, given under state guarantees. The Govt
also means to reduce 200 M. UAH expenditures for production and purchase of
AN-70 planes.
According to the draft amendments,
aid to families with children is supposed to be increased by 0.3 bn. UAH,
pensions to military servicemen by 0.7 bn. UAH, salaries to local
self-government staff by 0.8 bn. UAH, salaries and payments for fuels in
executive and judicial power bodies by 0.1 bn. UAH. According to preliminary
estimations, corrections to the budget will reach some 2 bn. UAH, referred as
technical corrections, which are usually implemented in the end of every year.
Since September 2006 the
Govt has numerous times stated that the 2006 national budget's deficit amounts
to 10 bn. UAH.
