Invitation Letter for the Diplomatic briefing on May 14, 2024

Dear Distinguished Colleagues,

The Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting would like to invite you for our regular

monthly ‘Diplomatic Briefing’ during which IER experts share their views on the economic situation in

Ukraine as well as present the results of recent business tendency survey.

The next Diplomatic Briefing dedicated to a discussion “Ukraine’s economic situation and

challenges in April 2024” will be held online via Zoom on May 14, 2024, Tuesday, from 16:00 to

17:00 Kyiv time (9:00-10:00 EST / 15:00-16:00 CEST).

In April Russia continued shelling of energy infrastructure, which created the problem for the access

to electricity for business and households in several regions. The risks for the next heating season

increased. Still, the business remained resistance and reported increase in production. The IER

experts estimates show that real GDP growth deceleration in April as compared to March 2024. Still,

according to the IER's Business Tendency Survey (#NRES) business remained optimistic even

though uncertainty remains high. More on the business expectations will be covered during the

meeting.

As Ukraine continued implementation of required reforms it was able to receive EUR 1.5 bn under

the Ukraine Facility (EU). However, the fiscal situation remains difficult and financial needs are high

to keep Ukraine’s economy resilient. IER experts will explore more on the topic during the meeting.

We will also talk about the trade developments and monetary policy.

Keynote speakers:

Oleksandra Betliy, macroeconomic, public finance, social and healthcare expert, IER Leading

Research Fellow;

Vitaliy Kravchuk, macroeconomic, monetary policy and financial market expert, IER Leading

Research Fellow;

Oksana Kuziakiv, IER Chief Executive, Head of the Center for Contemporary Society studies.
