KIEV, April 27 – The National Bank of Ukraine has worsened its forecast for the fall in Ukrainian GDP in 2015 to 7.5% compared to its forecast of 5.5% announced in February due to a poorer economic situation in January-February than was expected, NBU Head Valeriya Gontareva said.

"We believe that our economy has reached the bottom and from H2 2015 growth would resume," she said on Friday at the "Ukraine: Escape from Post-Soviet Legacy?" symposium held by VoxUkraine platform in Kiev on April 24-26.
