Ukrainian companies that want to sell goods to the state must provide additional evidence that their products are manufactured in Ukraine. This way, the Ministry of Economy will be able to expose potential fraudsters, said Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, writes UNN.
We protect the rights of Ukrainian manufacturers in public procurement. From now on, Ukrainian companies that want to sell their goods to the state must provide additional evidence that the products are indeed manufactured in Ukraine. The Ministry of Economy will analyze and identify fraudsters.
The head of government emphasized that the state will be able to more effectively distinguish goods produced in Ukraine from foreign ones that are trying to pass themselves off as Ukrainian.
Public procurement should support Ukrainian production, not pseudo-localized imports.
Svyrydenko explained that localization is one of the most effective tools of the "Made in Ukraine" policy. According to her, this tool has already helped manufacturers of public transport, municipal equipment, rescue vehicles, and other industries to withstand the full-scale invasion.
In the summer, we expanded localization in public procurement, and now it covers 128 categories of goods.
Addition
The Cabinet of Ministers approved amendments to the State Budget-2025, which plan to allocate an additional 324.7 billion hryvnias by the end of the year. The main source of financing for the increased expenditures is funds from the EU within the G7 Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration for Ukraine initiative, as well as a reduction in non-priority expenditures.
