KIEV, July 17 - Ukraine will dramatically reduce the financial gap at the state-owned energy company Naftogaz Ukrayiny in 2013, Energy and Fuel Minister Eduard Stavytskiy said Wednesday, citing a government resolution.
The government, after more than a six-month delay, finally approved a Naftogaz financial plan that anticipates about 18 billion hryvnias ($2.25 bill ion) in deficit in 2013, down from about 26.3 billion hryvnias in 2012.
“In general, we have seriously reduced the deficit,” Stavytskiy told reporters after a government meeting.
