Teema: Invitation Letter Diplomatic briefing on November 13, 2023
Kuupäev: 2023-11-09 13:14
Dear Distinguished Colleagues,
We are delighted to extend our invitation to you for an upcoming meeting
of the Institute for Economic Research (IER, Kyiv, Ukraine) experts,
dedicated to a discussion of the economic situation and challenges
prevailing in the month of October.
In October, we witnessed a further deceleration in consumer inflation,
enabling the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) to implement a reduction in
the key interest rate. Despite shifts in foreign exchange policy, the
exchange rate remained relatively stable. The IER's estimations suggest a
slight deceleration in real GDP growth compared to the preceding month. We
will delve into these topics in greater detail during our meeting.
Additionally, we will be pleased to present findings from the October
IER's Business Tendency Survey (#NRES), which reflect an enduring optimism
within the business community. It is noteworthy that businesses continue
to operate optimistically, even in the face of increased input costs,
logistical challenges, and the persistent issue of a shortage of skilled
labor. Further insights into these critical economic dynamics will be
shared during the meeting.
The event will take place online on Zoom on November 13, 2023, Monday, at
12:00 to 13:00 (Kyiv time), 11:00 to 12:00 (CEST) and we sincerely hope
that you will be able to join us.
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;
Yevhen Anhel, IER Senior Research Fellow.
The meeting will be moderated by Anastasiia Kropova, IER Research Fellow.
Language of the meeting: English.
