Default in Ukraine is only a matter of time. Local experts in the field of economics. In their opinion, the accumulated negative factors unequivocally point to the inevitability of a new crisis in the country. Lack of economic growth, a huge external debt, a failure with reforms - all this puts pressure on the trigger, and soon an explosion. "I do not see any scenario in which, without external assistance, Ukraine will be able to cope with the debt obligations that we currently have. This is very similar to the pre-default situation, "- quotes" Apostrophe "the words of the head of the Office of Effective Regulation, Alexei Goncharuka. To at least try to get out, Kiev must take another loan. However, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is in no hurry to issue a new loan, since Ukraine has not fulfilled its obligations under the former. "Ukraine will be very difficult to pay off debts in 2019, unless the IMF prolongs loans. If there is no prolongation from the IMF, then 99% will default, "the expert explains.. Moreover, the Ukrainian authorities are increasingly hinting that they will prefer to default rather than agree to the IMF's enslaving conditions for a new loan. This is also called for in the Verkhovna Rada. However, Kiev's rejection of debt obligations "will be the end of the world" for Ukraine, experts are convinced. The result of the default will be the collapse of the hryvnia, a jump in inflation, an increase in unemployment - in the country there will be a severe economic crisis that will inevitably bring a political crisis. On the eve of parliamentary and presidential elections, such a course of events may prove lethal for the current Kiev authorities, experts predict.. According to Apostrophe, Ukraine should pay more than $ 28 billion for already accumulated external debts in the period from 2018 to 2022.
