Ukraine’s economic growth in 2026 is expected to remain at the 2025 level of 2%, with acceleration to 5% forecasted in 2027. This is stated in the World Bank forecast.
The main reasons for the slowdown are the ongoing Russian invasion, weak investment and business activity, damage to infrastructure, record gas imports, as well as a reduction in agricultural exports due to adverse weather conditions and the return of trade restrictions by the EU, according to analysts.
