On Thursday, the Finnish government submitted proposals for changes to the draft budget for 2024, which, among other things, provides for higher spending on aid to Ukraine.
This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to European Pravda.
Among other things, the Finnish government proposes to increase the upper limit of defense spending for the period 2024-2028 by almost 96 million euros to cover the purchase of the 19th military aid package for Ukraine.
For 2024, the issuance will increase by 20.7 million euros.
In addition, in the context of preparing a plan for the reconstruction of Ukraine, the Finnish government has identified financial solutions to facilitate the participation of Finnish companies in reconstruction, for which it is asking for an increase in investment and lending expenditures in Ukraine by 25 million euros.
At the same time, the draft amendments to the budget propose to authorize the state to provide a guarantee of compensation for losses to cover 80% of the cost of investment, up to a maximum of 20 million euros.
The government is also asking parliament to give the Ministry of Labor and Economy the power to compensate for credit losses on export guarantees provided to promote exports and investment in Ukraine in the amount of up to 50 million euros.
