Dear 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 November 2024” will be held online via Zoom on December 11, 2024, Wednesday, from 16:00 to 17:00 Kyiv time (9:00-10:00 EST / 15:00-16:00 CEST).

In November, russian strikes on energy generation and transmission network resulted in planned and emergency electricity outages. This negatively impacted development of manufacturing. The electricity imports helped as well as the module generation capacities installed by some companies. Still, the situation is rather fragile and uncertainty increased due to the little understanding on how the US support of Ukraine will evolve in 2025.

The Government approved the State Budget Law for 2025, which envisages revenues from tax increases and financing for ERA. Therefore, financing is likely to be available in 2025. However, if military support reduces as compared to 2024, the Government will have to spend part of international assistance for defense procurements.

The IER experts will discuss these and other recent economic trends (including trade developments, monetary policy, inflation, etc), challenges and outlook during the Briefing. Besides, more results of the IER business tendency survey, conducted in September, will be presented.

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.

 English is the working language of the meeting.

We sincerely hope that you can honor us with your presence.
