The Cabinet of Ministers proposes to the Verkhovna Rada to adopt the 2024 state budget with revenues of UAH 1.746 trillion, expenditures of UAH 3.308 trillion and a deficit of UAH 1.531 trillion.

This was announced by Yaroslav Zhelezniak, Member of Parliament from the Holos faction, first deputy chairman of the parliamentary committee on finance, tax and customs policy, in his Telegram channel, Ukrainian News Agency reports.

"At its meeting, the government approved the Budget for the next year 2024. We are waiting today in the parliament under number #10000," he wrote.

At the same time, he clarified that the revenues of the state budget next year are projected at the level of UAH 1.746 trillion, expenditures – UAH 3.308 trillion, and the deficit – UAH 1.531 trillion.
