KYIV, Nov 29 - The growth of the Ukrainian economy in 2018 will accelerate to 3.5% from 2.5% last year, while next year it will slow down to 2.3% due to a decrease in the fiscal stimulation of the economy and the weakening of foreign markets, ICU Investment Group forecasts.

"In 2019, economic growth will slow down due to tight monetary and fiscal policies, as well as less attractive external conditions," Oleksandr Martynenko, the head of the ICU corporations' financial analysis department, told reporters in Kyiv.
