Ukraine: „Die Wirtschaft stürzt ab“: Putins Angriffe ruinieren die Ukraine
Russlands Luftkrieg gegen die ukrainische Wirtschaft zeigt Wirkung: Ökonomen revidieren ihre Wachstumsprognosen massiv nach unten. Im Staatshaushalt tun sich neue Löcher auf.
Kiew and Berlin report that Ukraine's economy is in a severe state of decline following intensified Russian attacks. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) predicts only a 1.5 percent growth for this year, a 0.7 percent decrease from their June forecast. Economists are projecting a significant reduction to 2.5 percent growth for the upcoming year due to the blockade of Ukrainian exports through the Black Sea.
Russian attacks on ships and ports have led to a more than 50 percent drop in Ukraine's grain and vegetable oil exports in August, according to EBRD Chief Economist Beata Javorcik. The exports are at the lowest level since August 2022. Estimates suggest that 17 to 19 million tonnes of agricultural products may not be sold this year, resulting in a 3.5 to 4 billion euro decline in agricultural exports, as reported by the economist.
Additionally, there will be losses from the export of metals and ores amounting to 1.5 billion euros.
