The main topic of the meeting – The main topic of the regular meeting –
January economic situation, challenges, and outlook for 2023
In January 2023, Ukraine’s economy somewhat improved its performance as
compared to December 2022. The business has better adapted to electricity
outages. Agricultural companies continued harvesting maize, which
indicates that their financial situation somewhat improved. The Government
received high international financial aid and increased VAT refunds. At
the same time, russian inspectors slowed inspections of grain exports,
which negatively impacted exports of grain.
According to the monthly IER business tendency survey (#NRES), business
remains optimistic about the future and plans to increase production and
sales. We forecast real GDP growth at 1.8% in 2023.
