Ukraine's state debt in 2004 increased from UAH 77.5 billion to UAH 85.4 billion. This was stated by Finance Minister Viktor Pynzenyk while presenting a report on the implementation of Ukraine's state budget for 2004 in the Verkhovna Rada, reports a «proUA» correspondent.
According to Pynzenyk, actual state budget payments for repayment of the state debt last year were made in full and on time. He emphasized that this allowed Ukraine to have stable positions on the borrowing market.
He reported that accounts payable under the state budget for the past year grew by UAH 400 million - to UAH 3.3 billion. Accounts receivable, according to him, grew to a greater extent by UAH 1.6 billion.
