External Debt in Ukraine
Ukraine - External Debt
Growth slid to a near two-year low in the first quarter. Inventories ate into activity and government consumption recorded the largest drop in over five years as the dire state of public finances and commitments to the IMF fueled fiscal consolidation. Available data for the second quarter points to a moderate strengthening in momentum. Retail sales surged in May, bolstered by rising wages and consumer confidence also continued its upward trend in the same month. In the political arena, the country will vote in snap parliamentary elections on 21 July. Polls point to a commanding lead for newly-elected president Volodymyr Zelensky’s Servant of the People party, which should give him the muscle to push through his agenda and needed reforms. However, a degree of uncertainty persists over the full agenda and ability to govern given his political inexperience.Ukraine - External Debt Data
