IMF sticks to 3.5% Ukraine growth in 2027 after 1% in 2026

The International Monetary Fund has maintained its forecast for Ukraine's real gross domestic product growth at 1% for 2026, unchanged from last year's estimate. The IMF also predicts a further acceleration in growth to 3.5% in 2027, along with a projected 3.6% growth in 2031. These forecasts are part of the IMF's October World Economic Outlook report, which was published on Tuesday morning.

The forecast revisions come as Ukraine faces economic challenges, including rising inflation, a widening current account deficit, and increasing unemployment rates.
