According to the Minister of Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine, local budget capital expenditures have increased by more than 60% for seven years of decentralization, comprising UAH 96,8 billion in 2020.

«Prior to decentralization the majority of municipalities were too divided and were not able to provide their residents with the proper services. As soon as local authorities obtained powers to manage funds, local budget incomes increased up to UAH 304 billion in 2020. In 2020 the volume of local budget expenditures increased by UAH 96,8 billion more than in 2018, whereas in 2015 local budget capital expenditures comprised UAH 32,2 billion», — claimed Oleksiy Chernyshov.
