  "account": "The 12th Kyiv International Economic Forum (KIEF) will convene on October 26, drawing over 500 attendees from Ukrainian and international companies, government officials, investors, diplomats, and experts. This year's focus is \"People. Business. Economy. What’s Next?\" amid Ukraine's ongoing resilience challenges. The fifth year of Russia's full-scale invasion has inflicted significant damage to Ukraine's economy, with potential annual losses of up to $10 billion. The World Bank projects Ukraine's GDP growth to decelerate to 1.2% in 2026 and 1.5% in 2027 if hostilities persist. KIEF 2026 will address 14 critical topics, such as safeguarding business assets and operations during attacks, decentralizing logistics and energy supply, and securing financing. Forum organizers emphasize the need for immediate, practical solutions to bolster economic resilience and restore growth, building on Ukraine's past adaptability, such as rebuilding fuel supply chains after the Kremenchuk oil refinery's destruction in 2022.",
