Teema: Invitation Letter Diplomatic briefing on on December 11, 2023
Kuupäev: 2023-12-07 13:49
Dear Distinguished Colleagues,
We are delighted to extend our invitation to you for a forthcoming meeting
of the IER experts (Kyiv, Ukraine), dedicated to a discussion of the
Economic situation and challenges prevailing in November. The meeting will
be held online.
In November, real GDP growth decelerated according to the estimates of the
IER experts. One of the reasons for the changes is a change in growth
pattern in agriculture. Another reasons is more difficult logistics due to
strike by Polish drivers that caused massive backlog at border crossing.
This also negatively impacted fiscal revenues, which broadened the
financing need for 2023, while the US and the EU are getting late with
their support. We will delve into these and other topics in greater detail
during our meeting.
Additionally, we will present findings from the November IER's Business
Tendency Survey (#NRES), which indicates that more companies face such
impediments to their activity as danger to work (due to Russian attacks)
and more difficult logistics. The business still remains optimistic.
Further insights into these critical economic dynamics will be shared
during the meeting.
The meeting will be held online via Zoom on December 11, 2023, Monday,
from 12:00 to 13:00 (Kyiv time), which corresponds to 11:00 to 12:00
(CEST).
Keynote speakers:
Oleksandra Betliy, macroeconomic, public finance, social and healthcare
expert, IER Leading Research Fellow;
Vitaliy Kravchuk, macroeconomic, monetary policy and financial market
expert, IER Leading Research Fellow;
Oksana Kuziakiv, IER Chief Executive, Head of the Center for Contemporary
Society studies.
The meeting will be moderated by Veronika Movchan, IER Academic Director,
Head of the Center for Economic Studies.
English is a working language of the meeting.
