Growth in RUSSIA’s Economy has been partially fueled by a rising Property Market as low cost PREFERENTIAL Mortgages have enabled Russians to buy New Build Property at a low cost. The rapid increase in the volume of mortgages over the past few years has resulted in a rapid increase in prices and there is now a 42% differential between New Build Prices and Secondary Housing Prices.

The recent rise in Interest Rates has resulted in mortgage rates DOUBLING and the PROPERTY BUBBLE is now at risk of BURSTING. In this video I look at what has been happening in the market and discuss the potential risks for Russia.

Ministry of Economy and the World Bank Group boost cooperation on a strategy to support the private sector, launch mortgage lending and finance specific investment projects
Ministry of Economy of Ukraine

https://www.kmu.gov.ua/en/news/minekonomiky-ta-hrupa-svitovoho-banku-posyliuiut-vzaiemodiiu-shchodo-stratehii-pidtrymky-pryvatnoho-sektoru-zapusku-ipotechnoho-kredytuvannia-a-takozh-analizu-ta-finansuvannia-konkretnykh-investytsiinykh-proektiv

The World Bank Group and the Ministry of Economy are developing a strategy to support the private sector to consolidate various government programmes for small and medium-sized businesses to increase their efficiency. These include grant programmes to support small and medium-sized businesses, veterans’ support programmes, war risk insurance instruments, and funding for the eOselia and eVidnovlennia programmes.

This was agreed upon by Yuliia Svyrydenko, First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister of Economy of Ukraine, at a meeting with a World Bank Group delegation headed by Arup Banerji, World Bank Regional Country Director for Ukraine and Moldova.

The Ukrainian side was represented by Deputy Ministers of Economy of Ukraine Volodymyr Kuzio, Tetiana Berezhna and Nadiia Bihun, as well as Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine - Trade Representative of Ukraine Taras Kachka.

Yuliia Svyrydenko also stressed at the meeting that the World Bank Group was providing methodological assistance and cooperating with the Ministry of Economy to analyse the needs of the private sector in 2024.

“Ukraine will be rebuilt through attracting private investors. For the next year, we have preliminarily estimated the needs of the private sector at more than USD 7 billion. We expect that more than half of this amount, about USD 4 billion, will be covered through financing programmes of multilateral and bilateral international financial institutions,” explained Yuliia Svyrydenko.

During the meeting, the World Bank representatives expressed their interest in supporting Ukrainian entrepreneurs by increasing funding for grant programmes to support small and medium-sized businesses, veterans’ support programmes, war risk insurance instruments, and funding for the eOselia and eVidnovlennia programmes.

“All of these programmes are aimed at creating new jobs, helping IDPs and veterans, and increasing the role of the processing industry in Ukraine’s economy. We will still discuss the details, but we have already received the fundamental agreement,” said Yuliia Svyrydenko.

According to her, in particular, the money from the World Bank can ease the conditions for obtaining soft loans for households under the eOselia programme and increase the number of mortgages issued. On the other hand, the implementation of concessional lending programmes will stimulate the housing construction industry, which in turn will create new jobs, new production chains and ensure tax payments.

The parties also discussed the possibility of providing technical support by the World Bank to analyse and launch war risk insurance instruments through the involvement of the local insurance market and ways to enhance the capital of the Ukrainian Export Credit Agency.

“Currently, the ECA is successfully implementing a programme to support Ukrainian exporters, most of whom are small and medium-sized businesses. We have also engaged ECA to insure the risks of destroyed ships and goods on them in the territorial waters of Ukraine. In the future, we want to expand the insurance programme to cover the risks of destruction of goods in warehouses and cargo in transit. This should become an important element of the development of the private sector in Ukraine,” Yuliia Svyrydenko continued.

During the meeting, the Government representatives discussed with Lisa Kaestner, Country Manager for Ukraine and Moldova, at the International Finance Corporation, the promising sectors for investors and agreed that the IFC would conduct a detailed analysis of the investment projects submitted by the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine within the framework of sectoral discussions of the Ukraine Plan with a view to providing financing in 2024.

I have heard good things about the Ukraine’s “Great Summer Offensive” so will you please list its accomplishments? With you being so knowledgeable and all I am certain that it would be enlightening.

From Western Rifle Shooters Association comes this truculent comment:

WaPo Blame Game: Who Lost UKR?

This two part series in the Washington Post is a must read because of what it tells the reader about the abysmal perfrormance of the White House and the Department of Defense. I found it genuinely shocking. I knew Biden, Austin and Milley were bad. I just did not appreciate how bad. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 marking the biggest screw up in history, these guys rate an 11.

https://sonar21.com/dissecting-the-washington-posts-analysis-of-ukraines-failed-counter-offensive-part-1/

https://sonar21.com/dissecting-the-washington-posts-analysis-of-ukraines-failed-counter-offensive-part-1/

The blame game about who lost Ukraine is starting. We know this thanks to the Washington Post, which managed to do some real reporting by publishing a two-part series on Ukraine’s failed counter offensive. Yep, kudos on that. The bad news? The analysis is shallow and repeats many of the false claims made by Ukrainians officials. That’s why I am here. To help you sort out the bullshit. Put on your hip waders. The bottomline is simple — the war is lost and the task of assigning blame is at hand.

The Washington Post pieces are:

Miscalculations, divisions marked offensive planning by U.S., Ukraine

and

In Ukraine, a war of incremental gains as counteroffensive stalls

Let’s start with the “Miscalculations” piece. There is some misdirection and BS in this piece that you need to take into account.

On June 15, in a conference room at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, flanked by top U.S. commanders, sat around a tablewith his Ukrainian counterpart, who was joined by aides from Kyiv. The room was heavy with an air of frustration.

Austin, in his deliberate baritone, asked Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov about Ukraine’s decision–making in the opening days of its long-awaited counteroffensive, pressing him on why his forces weren’t using Western-supplied mine-clearing equipment to enable a larger, mechanized assault, or using smoke to conceal their advances.

Reznikov, a bald, bespectacled lawyer, said Ukraine’s military commanders were the ones making those decisions. But he noted that Ukraine’s armored vehicles were being destroyed by Russian helicopters, drones and artillery with every attempt to advance. Without air support, he said, the only option was to use artillery to shell Russian lines, dismount from the targeted vehicles and proceed on foot. . . .

The meeting in Brussels, less than two weeks into the campaign, illustrates how a counteroffensive born in optimism has failed to deliver its expected punch, generating friction and second-guessing between Washington and Kyiv and raising deeper questions about Ukraine’s ability to retake decisive amounts of territory.

The key takeaway from this opening salvo is that the West knew early on that Ukraine’s counter offensive was not going to work. What is shocking, at least in my opinion, is that clowns like Austin and Milley actually believed they had viable chance to breech Russian lines. The failure of Ukraine is a consequence of two things — first, Ukraine had ZERO fixed wing air power available to employ against Russian positions and second, Ukraine was using inexperienced, poorly trained troops.

Reverend Mother, the gig is almost up. Even "Quad D" Denys the Menys has apparently taken some time off to rethink how to rebrand given that there just isn't much grifting left in the ol' Ukraine propaganda business.

[Gaffer]

You mean the “ [NOTE: two summaries per week, released on Wednesday and Sunday] ?”

Yep, much like the information coming from UKR and UKR expats, the ‘regular Wed/Sun’ blasts seem to be escaping more frequently, too.

[blitz128]

Metrics are good, what defines winning and losing, goals reached or not.

Early expectations of a Kharkiv’s like advance were not realistic, IMO, without air support, but it was championed by many pundants , and media types. Breaking through minefields and prepared defensive positions(all lacking in Kharkiv), without proper suppression of air and artillery assets was going to be difficult and it proved so.
So the metric changed to degrading and eliminating those threats, while gathering and using those assets to attack those items became the goal, which I would say they have been very successful at.

While gains in territory have been minimal for Ukrainians(the ultimate goal is reclaiming territory), so has russias(2nd greatest military…) mostly bakmut, and almost adiivka in over a year is a “stunning” success rate.

So gloat if you like, but in terms of other wars the defenders would be satisfied with these results, at this rate the Soviet’s would be reaching the polish border by say 1955

We will see how long both sides can keep this up, as for Russia their legacy stocks are dwindling, their navy degraded and pushed back, their Air Force much degraded and also forced to push operating bases further back from the front don’t appear to be positive metrics.
Their loss of relatively rare and expensive weapons systems is problematic for their goals, and their need for another round of mobilization interesting.

Ukraine is dependent on western weapons aid, available aid is nearly unlimited from just the US, abrams, Strykers, Bradleys, SPGs and aircraft, something the soviets er ah Russians cannot hope to match, but does the west have the political will to send, that is very much up in the air and may very well decide the battle.

A piece of information I read is interesting, according to Russian govt sources, Russian prison population was around 400000 at beginning of war and it is now reported at around 260000. Perhaps that many have been rehabilitated or there is another option….

Favorite new term heard from a pro Russian source who called the prison units “redemption units”. That is classic

[Gaffer]

Ukraine is dependent on western weapons aid, available aid is nearly unlimited from just the US, abrams, Strykers, Bradleys, SPGs and aircraft, ....

I don't believe this for a minute. Look at the list and numbers of these items given to the Taliban when Biden abandoned Afghanistan. We haven't even replaced them for our own readiness. We do not have unlimited supplies. What UKR has gotten in terms of advanced weaponry they haven't been able to repair or maintain (like the M777s) - just shoot and use til they're sidelined. The more advanced a system is the more extensive its support and maintenance requirements.

It's unrealistic, IMO. And, recent reports that UKR wants weapons like the very expensive THAAD (a very long range ballistic weapon) and F-18s, C-117s/130s etc. are equally in short supply.

[blitz128]

The stuff left in Afghanistan were never coming back anyways, mraps, humvees… are in great supply and are actually being replaced with newer models.

Your point on higher tech systems is accurate, but the supply source is far greater in the west than in Russia. As for M-777 specifically I think the supply and reconstituting capabilities are there, M-777 was designed for war with soviets, not really a player in a Chinese conflict so supplies are there, is the will to supply and produce them, always a question

There are plenty of posts on stocks in storage so I won’t post them again, but they are in the thousands.

Western production as well as Ukrainian production are ramping up , Russia is too, but they are not the Soviet Union anymore and production is in the 100s not 10s of thousands.

We will see

[Rocco DiPippo]

Excellent commentary on this article. Thank you!

With a flagship leftist/globalist, MSM Youke-cheering mouthpiece publishing a damning article like this one, it's a pretty good bet that the war's going to end very soon.

I'm guessing that the gay-dancing, grifting, grease stain is currently figuring out which Western country he can safely flee to with his filthy lucre and his beard. Maybe he'll take one more stab at glomming a few billion more from US taxpayers via the evil, corrupt Biden Regime, but failing to do that, he'll be bugging out.

I'm going to miss the fun here but will be very, very happy when all the killing and destruction stops.

[Gaffer]

C-130s, Blackhawks and other aircraft.....LOTS of smaller arms.... This list isn't just a list of trashed out/deteriorated weapons. But according to you we'd have left it all anyway. I think not, and I don't think the Pentagon planned on that either.

Ukraine cracks down on draft-dodging as it struggles to find troops

But the most common escape route has been major border crossings. Many rely on fake documents to slip out of the country. Others have resorted to more elaborate, even desperate, schemes. In Ukraine, a war of incremental gains as counteroffensive stalls Men have squeezed themselves into secret compartments in vehicles, posed as clergy members and dressed as women to sneak past border checkpoints, said Andriy Demchenko, a spokesman at the headquarters of the State Border Guard Service. A freight company employee took payoffs to sign up draft-age men as truck drivers who then disappeared over the border with Poland. A 20-year-old man entered into a bogus marriage with a relative with a disability and tried to exit the country as her caregiver.

Losing faith in leaders Ukrainians remain united in what many consider a battle for survival, and tens of thousands willingly show up at recruitment centers to enlist, often aware of the horrifying accounts of how life has changed in Russia-held territory. But interviews with draft-age Ukrainians suggest that many are less than eager to fight for a military and national government that is viewed as rife with corruption and incompetence.
