FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC POLICY OF UKRAINE IN THE CONDITIONS OF WAR WITH RUSSIA: CURRENT PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS FOR DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The article is focused on the examination of the current problems of financial and economic policy of Ukraine in the conditions of war with Russia. The authors highlight that logistical challenges related to the war continue to put strain on the economy, particularly those related to the operation of ports, transport networks and energy infrastructure. The war has also caused an imbalance in the foreign exchange market and an unprecedented increase in the budget deficit. Tax revenues were limited due to declining economic activity. The authors suggest ideas for the further development of the financial and economic policy of Ukraine. In particular, the import of luxury goods can be a good alternative to direct conversion of funds into foreign currency. It is already noticeable that there are various restrictions on the import and purchase of foreign exchange assets. These measures are already beginning to be applied, but they need to be expanded and deepened. It is also necessary to limit people’s desire for savings, because in conditions of instability, savings will inevitably flow into the currency.
