This is reported by "STANA.ua" with reference to the July inflation report of the regulator.
According to the NBU, it will increase to 62% of GDP, and not to 60% of GDP, as previously expected.
"The state and state-guaranteed debt in 2020 will grow to 62% of GDP due to an increase in the budget deficit, a fall in nominal GDP, as well as a weaker hryvnia exchange rate than at the end of last year," the National Bank of Ukraine points out.
It is noted that at the same time, the regulator expects that in the future the public debt will decrease by 2-3% every year due to economic growth and balanced fiscal policy.
In February, it was reported that the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine had created an agency that would manage the country's public debt.
