Acting Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov has said that the parliament will timely pass the draft national budget of Ukraine for 2013.

“We adopted the budgets for 2011 and 2012 in time. I am sure we will do so with the budget for the next year,” he said at a meeting of the government on Wednesday.

According to Azarov, adoption of a realistic, balanced, and thoroughly calculated national budget is a precondition for stability in the state.

He added that the draft 2013 national budget is very economical due to the global financial crisis, as well as based on realistic indices.

Azarov added that the draft national budget foresees measures aimed at stabilization of the economy and expanding of the home market.

He also said that the parliament will consider the draft budget on December 6 and future life of the country and development of its economy depend on the document.
