KIEV, Sept. 20 – Ukraine, with current economic growth at 4%, may double its growth rate and match that of Turkey, which sees 9% growth today, according to Senior Fellow of the Peterson Institute for International Economics (New York) and one of the leading international specialists on the Ukrainian economy, Anders Aslund.

"Ukraine possesses high economic potential which is underused," he said in the discussion on prospects of Turkey and Ukraine development at the 8th Yalta Annual Meeting entitled "Ukraine and the World: Common Challenges, Common Future."
