KYIV, Oct 27 – An increase in consumer prices, more significant than expected, has been caused by the growth of the economy, Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman said.

"Our forecast showed that we will have slightly more than 11% of inflation, but this [excess of the forecast] is natural, because the economy is growing. We invest more, and people get more income," he said on the 112.Ukraine television channel as part of his working visit to Poltava region on Thursday, October 26.
