KYIV, Oct 3 – The World Bank retains its forecast for Ukraine's GDP growth at 2% in 2017, World Bank Country Director for Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine Satu Kahkonen said on Tuesday.

At the same time, she noted that 2% of economic growth is insufficient as Ukraine needs a faster economic growth, at least at 4% to improve the living standards of the population hit by the economic crisis of 2014-2015.
