The experts from the National Bank of Ukraine are expecting the gross domestic product to fall by 7.5% in 2014, said Chair of the NBU Valeria Gontariova at the press-conference held in Kyiv, RBK-Ukraine (РБК-Україна) reports.
“The drop in Ukraine’s GDP in 2014 will reach 7.5% with twofold devaluation of the national currency”, - said Gontariova.
She is of the opinion that the GDP decline can be explained by macroeconomic imbalances, occupation of Crimea and Sevastopol, and the armed conflict in Donbas.
