The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved the draft resolution, which "twisted the nuts" in the process of providing housing subsidies for the population.
"At its extraordinary meeting, the government adopted a draft resolution that strengthened the targeting of housing subsidies to ensure state social support for the population and implementation of measures for effective and rational use of budget funds," the Ministry of Finance said in a statement.
The changes are as follows.
Analysis of the property status of candidates for subsidies will begin in a new way. Owners of cars up to 5 years old, as well as those who have recently made large purchases (more than 50 thousand hryvnias) cannot apply for state money. Income from deposits, securities, and other dividends from assets will also be taken into account.
The very presence of a bank deposit, the purchase of foreign currency, bank metals, or even the fact of going abroad can already be grounds for refusing a subsidy.
Secondly, it will become more difficult to get a subsidy. Special commissions created in the regions by local authorities to resolve issues related to the allocation of subsidies will be liquidated.
Thus, the government plans to "improve the efficiency and rationality of the use of budget funds."
