The World Bank has improved the forecast for Ukraine’s GDP growth in 2019 from 3.4 percent to 3.6 percent, World Bank Senior Economist Anastasia Golovach has said.

“For 2019, we do not expect any surprises and we think that Ukraine’s GDP will grow by 3.6 percent. A good indicator, but external risks, in some way, are increasing for Ukraine, so the structural transformation of the economy is important,” she said at a press conference in Kyiv on Nov. 19.
