Dear Colleagues,
The Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting is pleased to
invite you to our regular monthly "Diplomatic Briefing," where IER experts
share their insights on the current economic situation in Ukraine and
present the latest results of our business tendency survey.
The upcoming Diplomatic Briefing, focused on “Ukraine’s economic situation
and challenges in January 2025”, will take place online via Zoom on February
11, 2025, Tuesday, from 16:00 to 17:00 Kyiv time (9:00-10:00 EST /
15:00-16:00 CEST).
In January, Ukraine received EUR 3 bn from EU within ERA loan facility, what
ensured good financings of fiscal expenditures in January, which tax
revenues are traditionally low. Still, gross domestic VAT revenues were
record high due to increase in private consumption in December 2024. The
financing for 2025 seems to be sufficient if international partners continue
timely military assistance. According to our forecast, real GDP will
increase by about 3% in 2025 and 2026.
In January, there were no large damages to energy infrastructure. As a
result, power outages were rather local, which support manufacturing
development. However, the strikes by russia on sea-ports infrastructure
increased, which might harm logistics through sea.
The IER experts will discuss these and other recent economic trends
(including trade developments, monetary policy, inflation, etc), challenges
and outlook during the Briefing.
Besides, the results of the IER business tendency survey, conducted in
January, will be presented. Lack of labour remains one of key impediments
for the business activity.
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.
