Dragon Capital downgrades Ukraine’s GDP growth forecast for 2021 from 4.6% to 3.5%.

Thursday, September 9, 2021

Dragon Capital’s CEO, Tomas Fiala, says this is due to unexpectedly worse than expected preliminary GDP data for the second quarter of this year. Surprisingly, wholesale trade fell to 5.7% in the first half of the year from 3.0% in the first quarter. In mid-July, the investment company had already lowered the forecast for the growth of the Ukrainian economy this year from 5.3% to 4.6%. Next year’s estimate of real GDP growth remains unchanged at 4.3%.
