As UNIAN reported earlier, the Ukrainian government forecasts Ukraine's economy will grow 1% this year with the year-end inflation forecast at 12% and the hryvnia exchange rate at UAH 24.1 per U.S. dollar.

Ukraine's main creditor, the International Monetary Fund, forecasts a 2% economic growth and 12% inflation in Ukraine this year. The World Bank is a bit more pessimistic in its forecast. The Bank estimates Ukraine's economy will grow by no more than 1% in 2016.
