Corruption in public procurement annually “eats up” 50 billion UAH
Losses from corruption and from poor process organization annually amount to 50 billion UAH.
Ukraine annually loses about 50 billion UAH due to corruption in state purchases.
This was stated by the Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine Maksym Nefedov in an interview to the 5 channel, reported by Ukrinform. “State procurements in Ukraine are 250 billion UAH per year… Of this amount, according to our estimates, at least 50 billion UAH annually are losses from both direct corruption and from poor organization of the process,” noted Nefedov. According to the deputy minister, bringing order to the public procurement sphere will allow the state to save funds.
“Bringing order to public procurement is not a matter of improving just one sphere of public life, it is truly a matter of filling the budget, it is a matter of obtaining those funds that Ukraine can mobilize domestically rather than receiving as financial aid from international organizations,” he added.
On the eve of that, Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Dmytro Shymkiv said that the system of sub-threshold electronic procurements is already used by all ministries.
