We kindly invite you and your colleagues to participate in the meeting to be held online on April
14, 2023, Friday, from 12:00 to 13:00 local time in Kyiv, Ukraine (via Zoom).
The main topic of the regular meeting - March economic situation, challenges, and
outlook
In March 2023 we start a comparison of the economic situation with the period of full-scale war
when real GDP dropped by about 46% yoy (according to the IER estimate), while in February
real GDP decline was estimated to slow down to 23% yoy. As a result, real GDP has surged
in March 2023 as compared to March 2022, but remained much lower than in 2021. Still,
according to the monthly IER business tendency survey (#NRES), business reported the
improved performance in March. While disruptions of access to electricity reduce, the
importance of economic impediments becomes more important for business development.
IER experts will discuss key economic parameters and outlook of March 2023 on Friday’s
meeting. We will also focus on the financial needs of Ukraine with a short analysis of new IMF
program.
Presentation will be followed by Q&A session.
Keynote speakers:
Oksana Kuziakiv, IER Chief Executive, Head of the Сenter for Contemporary Society studies;
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.
The meeting will be moderated by Iryna Kosse, infrastructure, transport and energy sector
expert, IER Leading Research Fellow.
Language of the meeting: English.
