Ukraine’s economy contracted by 4.4% in 2020 — far less than the estimates of 6-7% made last May, when the country was still in a severe lockdown, reported the National Bank of Ukraine. Despite a slow start to 2021, the Central Bank forecasts 4.2% growth this year. The current 2.5-week lockdown, which ends Monday morning, is having only a ‘restrained’ impact on the economy, Dmytro Sologub, Deputy Governor of the bank, told reporters yesterday.
