The IMF recently published its World Economic Outlook, in which it downgraded its forecast for Ukraine's GDP growth to 2% in 2025.

According to the Fund, the downgrade was driven by the effects of Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, a strained labor market, and ongoing uncertainty due to the war.
