"About the IMF.
Myths and Reality.
Ukraine thanks to Maidan escaped from the colonial slavery of Russia and made a throw to the West - to Western military-political and economic institutions and associations (NATO and the EU), to Western, European Civilization. After the Russian governor Yanukovych fled to the territory of the former metropolis with all the money of Ukraine and its people, treasury accounts of Ukraine left about 100 thousand UAH. How long could Ukraine survive if the West did not provide immediate and impressive financial assistance? A couple of months. And again I would return to Moscow.
I will tell you a seditious secret. The IMF is more geopolitical than economic. IMF - the purse of the West (another secret - almost everything in the IMF depends on the US). And the West is not poor and so. And this hypothetical IMF earnings in Ukraine are tears, especially as the IMF lends to Ukraine at credit prices below commercial. Because it's politics. Ukraine returned to Europe, to the Western camp - the West should help get on its feet.
Therefore, the myths that the IMF wants to enslave Ukraine. ruining Ukraine, making a raw (or some other) appendage, etc. - these are Russian myths. As well as "we take - give to children" and so on.
Have you noticed how RF rejoices when Ukraine does not go out with the IMF? Because the less the IMF, the more chances that we will return to Moscow.
But the IMF is not a charitable organization. She still wants to get her money back. To do this, it needs the economy of Ukraine to grow. Started and accelerated like a locomotive. When GDP begins to grow by 4-5-6% per year - then Ukraine will be able to very painlessly return these cheap loans. The IMF is on our side. We are in the same harness, in the same boat.
Further.
To the economy began to grow it is necessary that she was healthy. Sick, cancer cells need to be cut with a scalpel, and not smear with greenery. Market gas prices are a healthy economy. Have you noticed that you rarely see open windows in winter in the entrances and apartments? Yes, we learned a little not to heat the air with gas. We are still a poor country and we can not afford such luxury. But our prices are not yet entirely market-oriented and this does not stimulate industry and the population to seek ways to save energy.
The same is true of the land market. The moratorium on the civilized land market is a cancerous tumor of the economy. It does not allow to develop further and faster.
Ukraine assumed obligations both for prices and for gas and for the land market. Under the Memorandum with the IMF are the signatures of the first persons of Ukraine. Therefore, I am ashamed to observe what is happening now.
It will not be possible to be a marketer and a populist at the same time. It will not be possible to sit on two chairs. It will not be possible to deceive.
What did you hope for when you signed the Memorandum? Give money today - and there we'll see how to sail?.
No need to reinvent the wheel. Poland, the Baltic States and others. passed this way. They did everything clearly and truthfully, no matter how difficult it seemed. They did it - the economy recovered, loans were given. We are following the path of these countries. Do not do what needs to be done anyway, will not work out in any way. And the sooner the better.
Have courage, "summed Ponomar.
