From 2014 to 2019, Ukraine spent one and a half times more on police work (proportionally to GDP) than Russia and Belarus. This was reported in a post on Facebook The public organization "Price of the State" reports.
The organization's experts analyzed that countries around the world spend, on average, approximately 1% of GDP on police work (Belarus and Russia also reduced their spending to this level in 2017-2019). Ukraine, however, spent 1,4-1,7 times more on police work annually.
Overall, Ukraine's law enforcement spending (which the IMF includes spending on police, courts, prisons, fire services, and other security expenditures, excluding military spending) reached 3,6% of GDP in 2019. This is one of the highest rates in the world. For the past 10 years, Ukraine has consistently ranked among the top ten countries in this indicator.
As a reminder, we cited World Bank data on the assessment of the level of rule of law in Ukraine for 2016, according to which Ukraine was ranked 158th in the world.
According to 2019 data, Ukraine moved up two notches to 156th place. Thus, compared to 2016, the cost-benefit ratio of ensuring the rule of law in Ukraine has not changed and remains shockingly low.
UPD: This does not include expenses for the National Guard," reports "Price of the State."
