He said this in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.Answering a question about whether Ukraine will be able to cover all planned budget expenditures, the chair of the Verkhovna Rada Finance Committee said: “In seven months, the revenue of the state budget’s general fund reached 105% of the plan. Tax revenues – 104%. Partly, we see this due to higher taxes on bank profits.”Hetmantsev noted that income growth was also supported by the formalization of the economy.“Additionally, this year we are expected to receive $54 billion in aid from partners. This is more than we need this year and will create a carryover balance for next year. So we are going through this year very confidently, and there is no reason to worry,” he assured.Hetmantsev clarified that about $39 billion of external aid will be used this year, with the rest of the $54 billion carried over to next year. Regarding the situation for next year, the Finance Committee head said forecasts vary.“The National Bank projected external financing needs of $35 billion for 2026 and $30 billion for 2027. The Cabinet estimates a $45 billion need for 2026. According to the Ministry of Finance, considering carryover balances, $35 billion will be covered. In other words, about $10 billion is still lacking for next year,” Hetmantsev added.
