Sologub reported sluggish economic growth this year.
Economic growth next year could reach 3%. On Monday, December 18, said the Deputy head of the national Bank Dmitry Sologub.
“Economic growth has been slow but will accelerate to 3% in 2018. Exchange rate volatility was moderate. Inflation higher than expected in the beginning of the year and exceeds the goal of the NBU. To reduce the risk of inflation in the fourth quarter, the NBU has twice exceeded interest rates on average by 2 percentage points to 14.5% “, – he said.
According to him, without the support of international institutions, the successful refinancing of $ 20 billion of sovereign and government-guaranteed debt with maturities in 2018-2020 unlikely.
“Ukraine should start negotiations on launching a new program of cooperation with the IMF to end the current at the beginning of 2019”, – he added.
