Ukrainian authorities should threaten the International Monetary Fund (the som) defaults, to bargain for a more favorable loans, RIA Novosti reported the statement of the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Alexander Kirsch ("Popular Front").
he noted, that the government is no longer able to raise tariffs for gas, which is one of the conditions of the fund. Because Kiev should bargain with creditors, and are not afraid to put forward strict requirements.
It is necessary to consider not only the cost of, but also from the ability of the population to pay for it. As the population no longer has the ability to pay the price (gas), it is possible to put a question to the IMF about the default with the same seriousness, as did Greece. Blackmail IMF default, do not be afraid to do, said MP.
In his opinion, lenders are frightened of this scenario, because Ukraine is a "barrier, separating the West from Russia ".
Recall, increase in tariffs for the population remains one of the key conditions for continued cooperation with the IMF Kiev. FROM 2016 , the price of gas for Ukraine's population was tied to the market value of imported fuel. In two years, the world prices for energy increased significantly, however, rates have not been revised. The Fund believes, that difference on the Ukrainian market in gas prices is "the cause of corruption and wasteful consumption '.
