The European Bank for Reconstruction and
Development (EBRD) has worsened the outlook for Ukraine's GDP fall in 2015 to
9%, while in May this year it estimated the figure at 7.5%, in January - 5%.
"We've recently upgraded our forecast in
accordance with the figures, now predicted by the government jointly with the
IMF - 9%," EBRD Director for Ukraine Sevki Acuner said at a press
conference in Kyiv.
The national budget of Ukraine for 2015 is built
on the optimistic scenario of development, providing for a fall in GDP of 5.5%
with inflation being 26.7%, while the other two scenarios assume a fall in GDP
of 8.6% and 11.9% with inflation being 38.1% and 42.8% respectively.
At the same time, the IMF in late May after
talks with Ukrainian authorities worsened its forecast for GDP decline in the
current year to 9%, inflation - to 46%.
