The government approved the draft budget for 2024 with own revenues of the general fund of the budget in the amount of 1.56 trillion hryvnias and expenditures of the general fund in the amount of 3.108 trillion. The project must be submitted to the Verkhovna Rada (the Ukrainian Parliament) by September 15.

This was reported by the Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

"The key emphasis of this project is the defense and security of our country. We are directing more than half of all budget resources — 1.685 trillion hryvnias. This amount is 113 billion more than this year. There will be even more weapons and equipment. More drones, ammunition, missiles. Just like this year, every penny of citizensʼ and business taxes will go to support our Security and Defense Forces," the head of government noted.

The government continues the preferential lending programs, the "eRobota" grant program, and support for Ukrainian startups.
