This was due to a surplus for a special fund of 27.7 billion hryvnia, caused by a special confiscation of about 30 billion hryvnia, which was received in April this year. Such data on Monday, November 27, was published by the State Treasury Service.

According to the department, the deficit of the state budget for the first ten months of this year amounted to 26.3 billion hryvnia.

At the same time, in October the state budget was reduced to a deficit of 13.6 billion hryvnia, including 12.6 billion hryvnia for the common fund, which is lower than September's figures - 23.47 billion hryvnia and 22.8 billion hryvnia, respectively.

State Treasury also indicates that the planned deficit for 2017 is 80.89 billion hryvnia, including a common fund - 62.33 billion hryvnia.
