Experts believe Ukraine has high chances to attract 17 billion USD in foreign markets in 2013.

"The Economy Ministry experts calculated that Ukraine could easily attract these funds in today's situation, taking into account the current macroeconomic indicators," says the director of the Research Institute for Economy under the Economy Ministry Ihor Mansurov.

The expert added that such possibility is favored by the fact that last year Ukraine had effective access to foreign markets, showing itself as a disciplined borrower.

At the same time Mansurov said that Ukraine could freely do without International Monetary Fund loans in 2013.

In turn, according to the head of the Raiffeisen Bank Aval analysis and research department Dmytro Solohub, there will be a significant influx of foreign debt capital in 2013.

According to him, the banking sector can safely pay off external debt in 2013, as the system shows a high level of dollar liquidity against the prohibition of foreign currency lending.

Under the state budget for 2013, Ukraine plans to attract 135 500 000 000 UAH in foreign markets (about $ 17 billion).
