Inflation remains stable in December
Inflation held steady at November's 5.1% in December. Lower price pressures for housing and utilities and transportation offset stronger price growth for food and non-alcoholic beverages. Annual average inflation fell to 13.4% in December (November: 15.2%). Meanwhile, core inflation fell to 4.9% in December, from November’s 5.7%. Finally, consumer prices rose 0.69% over the previous month in December, accelerating from the 0.51% rise recorded in November.
Analysts at the EIU commented on the outlook: “The pace of disinflation will slow in 2024 as the one-off effects of a 2023 fall in food prices caused by export constraints disappear and economic growth picks up. […] Expansionary fiscal spending remains a risk for inflation, but the concentration of government expenditure in a single sector, the managed float in the first half of the forecast period, and the financing of deficits through aid and concessional loans will prevent a serious build-up of inflationary pressures in the wider economy.”
How should you choose a forecaster if some are too optimistic while others are too pessimistic?

These projections are then validated by our in-house team of economists and data analysts and averaged to provide one Consensus Forecast you can rely on for each indicator. By averaging all forecasts, upside and downside forecasting errors tend to cancel each other out, leading to the most reliable inflation forecast available for Ukrainian inflation.
