Invitation Letter for the Diplomatic briefing on the economic situation in Ukraine, August 12,
2024
Dear Colleagues,
The Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting would like to invite you for our regular
monthly ‘Diplomatic Briefing’ during which IER experts share their views on the economic situation in
Ukraine as well as present the results of recent business tendency survey.
The next Diplomatic Briefing dedicated to a discussion “Ukraine’s economic situation and
challenges in July 2024” will be held online via Zoom on August 12, 2024, Monday, from 16:00
to 17:00 Kyiv time (9:00-10:00 EST / 15:00-16:00 CEST).
During the briefing IER experts will discuss the recent economic trends, challenges and outlook. The
Government initiated amendments to the State Budget Law for 2024 to receive financing for defence
and security sphere as international defence support in the first half of the year was lower than
expected. Besides, the war remains active, even though the IMF program as well as Budget-2024
figures were based on the assumption that war will be less active in the second half of 2024. As a
result, the Government submitted the draft law on tax increases, which is highly debated in Ukraine.
We will explore this topic during the outlook.
We will also outline recent economic trends (trade developments, monetary policy, inflation, etc.) and
provide our outlook for 2025. Besides, the results of the IER business tendency survey, conducted in
July, will be presented.
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.
English is a working language of the meeting.
We sincerely hope that you can honor us with your presence.
