Ukraine has succeeded in restructuring USD 12 billion of state debt, and as a result the pressure on state funds significantly reduced, Minister of Finance Natalia Yaresko stated on the investment forum in Kyiv.
"We have restructured USD 12 billion of state debt. Just an example: in 2016 we should pay USD 2.8 billion (for servicing state debt - UNIAN). Instead of it, we will pay USD 1.74 billion", - she said.
As UNIAN reported, on August 27 Ukraine and the Committee of Creditors reached the agreement on restructuring of the part of state debt for the total amount of USD 18 billion, which stipulates the full writing-off of USD 3 billion, deferment of payments on loan principal in the amount of USD 8.5 billion for 4 years as well as fixing coupon rate on all bonds at the level of 7.75% per annum.
