KIEV, Dec. 15 – Recently announced statistics for November in construction, retail trade and agriculture encourage hope for sustainable economic growth in Ukraine, according to Valery Lytvytsky, the head of the group of advisors to the governor of the National Bank of Ukraine.

"Preliminary impression is very good," he told Interfax-Ukraine. "The cumulative dynamics of the first 10 months when GDP grew by 4.8-5% is most likely to continue at least. I don't rule out that it may get even better."
