The economic situation in Ukraine "has sharpened somewhat," said Premier
Valery Pustovoitenko at a May 10 Cabinet meeting, where the results of
the nation's economy for January-April 1999 were discussed. He criticized
the performance of a number of leaders of executive agencies, which had
not taken appropriate measures to prevent the drop in industrial output.
The fall in industrial production for the first four months of this year was 2.7% compared to the corresponding period in 1998, and in April, 6.1% compared to March, Interfax-Ukraine reports.
Against this bleak background People's Deputy Oleksandr Lavrynovych
commented at The Day's request on the statements by the President
and Cabinet concerning their constant concern about the development of
small and medium business: "This is just like an impotent saying he constantly
takes part in increasing the nation's birth-rate."
