The next Diplomatic Briefing dedicated to a discussion “Ukraine’s economic situation and challenges in May 2024” will be held online via Zoom on June 13, 2024, Thursday, from 16:00 to 17:00 Kyiv time (9:00-10:00 EST / 15:00-16:00 CEST). In May, as shown by the IER business tendency survey, the biggest impediment to business operation was the ‘danger to work’, which is explained by the increased shelling by Russia of Ukrainian territory all over the country. The missile and drone attacks resulted in high losses of electricity generating capacity, which caused problems with the access to electricity both for business and population. Even though exports remained high, but it was still lower than in April. The lack of qualified labour became the second largest impediment for business operation. Overall, the IER experts estimated that real GDP growth decelerated in May as compared to April. The outlook also worsened with smaller real GDP growth expected in 2024. At the same time, Ukraine remains on track with the implementation of conditionalities and benchmarks under the IMF program and Ukraine Facility. However, there is still a financing gap in 2024 as well as in 2025. We will also talk more about these topics as well as trade developments and monetary policy. English is a working language of the meeting. We sincerely hope that you can honor us with your presence.
