Macroeconomic situation in Ukraine
According to the NBU, a stable decrease in inflation to 5% is expected, and GDP growth is forecasted in the coming years. However, the increase in the country's economic potential depends on events on the military front.
Further cooperation with the IMF and the possibility of Ukraine obtaining reparative loans from the European Union based on frozen Russian assets were also discussed.
The Head of the NBU emphasized that the banking system demonstrates resilience and efficiency even in wartime, and banks are a reliable support for the economy.
The dynamics of Ukraine's economic development is largely related to events on the front. The need to increase defense capabilities and budget expenditures is rising.
The meeting of the NBU leadership with representatives of banks is an important step towards developing Ukraine's financial capabilities and ensuring the resilience of the economy in the face of many challenges.
