As UNIAN reported earlier, Moody's Investors Service on June 12 upgraded the Government of Ukraine's long-term issuer and senior unsecured ratings to B3 from Caa1, the outlook on the ratings is stable.

With the economy forecasted by Moody's to contract by 4.5% this year and the fiscal response to the coronavirus outbreak, the government's budget deficit is expected to increase to 7.5% of GDP in 2020, up from a deficit of 2.0% of GDP in 2019.
