The Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting is pleased to invite you to our regular monthly "Diplomatic Briefing," where IER experts share their insights on the current economic situation in Ukraine and present the latest results of our business tendency survey.
The upcoming Diplomatic Briefing, focused on “Ukraine’s economic situation and challenges in January 2026”, will take place online via Zoom on February 11, 2026, Wednesday, from 16:00 to 17:00 Kyiv time (9:00-10:00 EST / 15:00-16:00 CEST).
In January, russian attacks on Ukraine’s critical infrastructure intensified substantially. Population of several cities, including Kyiv, faced large problems with electricity generation and transmission as well as heating. Small businesses used fuel generators, but in many occasions had to cut working hours. Some large companies also announced termination of work or shorter working hours. Slowe economic activity negatively impacts central fiscal revenues. This along with the need to allocate financing for energy repairs and installation of new energy generation facilities widens fiscal gap. The enormous international assistance for energy support is expected to help Ukraine to remain resilient, though it requires time. Overall, business activity worsened in January, but on average index remained positive as well as expectations.
During the Diplomatic Briefing we will discuss key economic parameters and business tendencies of January in greater detail.
Speakers:
Oleksandra Betliy, macroeconomic, public finance, social and healthcare expert, IER Leading Research Fellow;
Iryna Kosse, infrastructure policy expert, IER Leading Research Fellow;
Vitaliy Kravchuk, macroeconomic, monetary policy and financial market expert, IER Leading Research Fellow;
