Ukraine: Reforms Helped to Stabilize Economy, but Continued and Faster Reforms are Key
Ukraine's GDP to decline by 12 percent in 2015, but 1 percent growth is possible in 2016, projects World Bank
October 5, 2015--Despite a few encouraging signs of economic stabilization seen in July and August 2015, in its new Ukraine Macroeconomic Update the World Bank projects real GDP to fall by 12 percent this year, down from an earlier projected 7.5 percent decline.
The macroeconomic policy mix adopted by the authorities proved to be effective in mitigating a much more painful impact on the country's economy, but the on-going conflict in the east has made stabilization more difficult. Coupled with an unfavorable global economic environment, it has led to a much sharper contraction in the economy.
