Vitalii Trubarov called the main achievements of the Fund in 2018

Among the results of the activity of the State Property Fund of Ukraine in 2018 next: successful launch of small privatization, over-fulfillment of leasing, launch of the Electronic Property Assessment Module, one and a half billion dividends, and the resistance of the system and the oligarchs in large privatization. About this wrote the Chief of the Fund Vitalii Trubarov on his Facebook page.  

"For 4 months of small privatization it succeeded to get almost UAH 350 million. About 250 objects were sold at open bidding, and it is important that there was no judicial contest of the results of auctions, only a tenfold increase in the starting price and fair competition", he said.

According to him, about 250 of the 818 small-scale privatization objects were sold, and auctions were announced for 355 objects. "So, next year, the issue of filling the system with new lots, which the Ministries are in no hurry to convey, will be acutely address", - stressed Vitalii Trubarov.

Among the successes of the year, he called the launch of an electronic module for determining the estimated value of property. "Finally, in 2018, the term "estimated mafia" and apartments in the center of Kyiv for UAH 100 thousand disappeared.

With the launch of the Electronic module for determing the estimate the value of property, to reduce the price of the object is not to be able, and accordingly the amount of taxes will be paid from market value.

Nearly 17 thousand evaluation reports have not been passed by the module due to low value or false data. For half a year of the work of the Electronic module, UAH554 million military fees, UAH 370 million to the Pension Fund and about UAH2 billion individual income tax have been paid for the sale and purchase transaction ", - said the Chief of the Fund.

According to him, during 2018 UAH 1 billion 600 million of dividends transferred by the State Property Fund to the State Budget of Ukraine by results of economic activity of enterprises in 2017. In addition, the lease of state property brought almost UAH 1.5 billion in 2018. It is 50 per cent more than planned. "However, outdated rules for renting state property need to be changed, and the Fund has developed a new law. All leases will be held through electronic auctions, the transfer process will be shorted, a guarantee fee will be introduced, which will not return to the winner, in order to protect themselves against the failure of auctions by unscrupulous participants", – said Vitalii Trubarov.

At the same time, as he notes, the sale of large privatization objects is blocked by the useless lawsuits of companies that play in favor of the oligarchs.

"In September, the Fund also selected investment advisers for the OPP, the Krasnolymanska Coal Company, the Electrovazhmash Plant, the Pharmaceutical Company “Indar”, the United Mining and Chemical Company, but their approval by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine was blocked.

The competition for the sale of Centrenergo had to be canceled due to the unreliability of the documents submitted by the contestants and their possible connection with the aggressor country.

The whole list of large privatization companies goes on for next year, and I hope that we will succeed in 2019 to move on to the direct sale of assets, despite the elections and attempts by the oligarchs to stop the process of large privatization through the courts", the Chief of the Fund stressed.
