Ukraine’s government has set an ambitious privatization plan for 2015, hoping to raise up to UAH 17 billion from the sale of state property, a source close to the government said on Tuesday.

According to the source, this sum is the one most often mentioned in discussions in the government, and it is the figure given in proposals submitted to the cabinet by the State Property Fund.

As UNIAN reported earlier, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine last month issued a decree, No. 1067 dated November 7, that reduces the privatization plan forecast for the current year to UAH 363 million, compared to the UAH 17 billion sum planned before.
