Record development budget adopted in Mariupol

At the XLVIII session of the city council, the deputies voted for the "Program of economic and social development of Mariupol for 2020", which provides for the development budget for the next year at the level of UAH 1 billion 200 million. The expected budget, upon receipt of subventions from the state budget and credit funds, according to already signed agreements - 2 billion 600 million UAH. Potential, due to already signed agreements, but not yet developed schedules for the receipt of funds - more than UAH 3 billion.

“The development budget figure is a record one for Mariupol. This is the result of our joint work aimed at developing the city. We became open, transparent and, thanks to this, were able to attract foreign investment. Now our main responsibility is to implement such a budget, ”said Vadim Boychenko.

Director of the Department of Economics of the City Council Yevgeny Bodyagin emphasized that Mariupol remains the largest industrial center in the region. More than half of industrial products are produced in our city. There is also a steady development in the volume of retail trade and an increase in the number of business entities.

“Thanks to this, the number of officially employed workers is increasing. This speaks of effective joint work to legalize labor. The wage fund is increasing. Predictably, it will amount to UAH 1.5 billion for the next year, ”said Yevgeny Bodyagin.
