This Jaresko added that the Ukrainian Government is working to achieve progress in arrangements with creditors.

at the same time, in her expressions, even if such a moratorium will be declared, it does not have to affect the currency exchange rate." in my vision, economic arithmetic, cannot be any negative impact on the hryvnia. Again, arithmetically speaking, money, currency, which was to be applied to the payments that would come out from the country, and to the suspension of payments, it remains in the country, Is arithmetically to the hryvnia even better, " Jaresko said.

However, in her opinion, it is Clear that in this situation there is also a psychological effect.

"And for this reason I ask all not to exaggerate the importance of this technical default could have on our nation. On the banking system it is not directly affected, on account of our Residents in the banks it has no impact. It's not Greece, not the situation ", - said the Minister of Finance.

Ukraine is difficult dialogues on restructuring of debts to private creditors. In the list of securities tendered to the restructuring, hit a two-year Eurobonds purchased by Russia on the Irish stock exchange by the end of 2013. Ukraine considers its own duty to the Federation of commercial, Moscow, from the outset, insisted that the debt should not so qualify.
