The Ministry for Development of Economy, Trade and Agriculture of Ukraine decreased its forecast for the country’s GDP in 2020 to 3.9%.
This was announced by the Ministry of Economy itself.
The reason is a recession in the global economy. Along with other countries, Ukraine is taking large-scale measures to combat the coronavirus.
The Ministry of Economy expects the economy to rebound in the second half of 2020 and accelerate in the years to come. The main reasons are a high global demand for domestic agricultural and industrial products, a stable banking system, lower prices for imported energy products, continued structural reforms in cooperation with international partners.
Inflation will temporarily increase to 8.7% in 2020. By the next year, this figure will return to 5%.
