Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has said he expects the Verkhovna Rada to adopt the country’s draft state budget for 2019 at first reading during the current plenary week from October 16 to 19.
“This week we are expecting budget conclusions and the first reading of the draft state budget for 2019. People’s deputies have already submitted more than 2,000 proposals,” Groysman wrote on his Facebook page on October 16.
In addition, the government hopes parliament will consider draft law No. 8265, the implementation of which, according to the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, will help bring about 250,000 government purchases out of the shadows.
