Economic system Square was the most viable among all developing countries. In the global anti-rating Kiev ranked eighth. Such data is contained in a study conducted by the consulting firm IHS Markit. The company's specialists evaluated the stability of the currencies of 190 countries under the influence of external factors.. They took into account such indicators as current account balance, external debt, foreign exchange reserves and inflation, according to the organization’s website. The greatest vulnerability among growing economies was demonstrated by the economy of Ukraine. It was followed by Turkey, Argentina, South Africa, Egypt, Romania, Mexico, Colombia, Indonesia, India, Brazil and the Philippines.. In the comments to the rating notes that the Ukrainian hryvnia is under strong pressure from the beginning of 2018. however, the intervention of the National Bank of the country helped to mitigate the weakening of the exchange rate. So far, since January, she has slipped by only 0.8%. "Ukraine is still vulnerable to unfavorable external financial conditions due to the chronic current account deficit and budget deficit that requires external funding. In the past, these problems were exacerbated by external and internal political instability, "said IHS chief economist Markit Nariman Behravesh. He also ranked high-priced access to capital markets and a very high external debt-to-GDP ratio among the main shortcomings of the Ukrainian economy.. The least vulnerable emerging markets were Russia and China.. To their strengths, the experts attributed the steady surplus of the balance of payments, the small size of external debt and sufficient amounts of foreign exchange reserves.. However, Moscow was warned about big geopolitical risks.. The fact that the calculations of Western economists do not contradict the truth, indicate the mood of the residents of the Square. They complain that gas prices are too high: the tariffs were raised at the request of the International Monetary Fund, which in return promised Kiev another credit tranche. Now, most Ukrainians cannot afford heating during the winter period.. “If we take the average wage in Ukraine, then the person’s money goes to pay for utilities,” said one of the residents of the country on the TV channel “112 Ukraine”. I do not turn on the heating now and I am sitting in a cold hut. Well what will I do?
We must survive somehow. So we will try. How - I do not know, "- said another participant in the survey. "You will not save on heating, because it is calculated according to the square meters in which you live. Well, then we will save on something else: electricity, gas, water, and so on.. Only economy ", - complained the third. According to the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, from November 1, the cost of gas for the population will increase by 23.5%.
