"The second tool is compensation. In the state budget for 2024, we have allocated UAH 1 billion to compensate for the purchase of domestically produced agricultural machinery. In the future, this can create 9 thousand new jobs and generate up to UAH 1.5 billion in taxes to our budget. We see that this program is extremely popular - we have already received 4 thousand applications. Therefore, we are planning to extend the same mechanism to all equipment manufactured in Ukraine. This includes special and construction, municipal and other equipment, etc.", said Shmyhal.

He noted that the compensation program should become an incentive that will breathe new life into the Ukrainian automotive industry and "at the same time it will renew the technical capacities of communities and enterprises, accelerate recovery and modernization.
