According to him, further deepening of the “systemic crisis” of the Ukrainian economy, which has become the “main economic result of 2019,” may lead to this.
Also, according to Medvedchuk, the preservation of the current financial and credit policy leads to default "on the worst conditions for Ukraine".
“The only way to avoid it, it seems, is through cooperation with the IMF, agreements with which (Prime Minister Aleksey. - RT ) Goncharuk gives out for serious success,” he emphasized.
Medvedchuk said that industrial production in Ukraine reached a three-year low, the downward trend leads to "irreversible deindustrialization of the economy" of the country in 2020.
“The catalyst for crisis processes in the economy is the inadequacy of the government,” Medvedchuk said in a statement posted on the party’s website.
In his opinion, the country needs to "urgently change the leadership of all economic and financial ministries and departments and urgently form a government of national salvation."
Earlier, the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine reported that the state budget for 2019 was reduced with a deficit of 72.4 billion hryvnias.
On December 8, it became known that Ukraine and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreed on a new cooperation program involving a loan of about $ 5.5 billion for three years. Goncharuk called the agreement a marker of confidence in the country.
Ukrainian political scientist and economist Oleksandr Dudchak appreciated the announcement of the agreement, noting that the IMF "supports the coma" in Ukraine, but "does not save the economy."
