KYIV, Aug 5 – Ukraine’s economic growth will probably slow down to 3.6% on the year in 2021 from an earlier forecast of 4.7% due to poor vaccination and resurgence of Delta strain, the Kyiv School of Economics reported Thursday.

This is the most significant downgrade of Ukraine’s economic growth so far this year and shows the country won’t completely recover from 4% contraction in 2020 caused by the pandemic.
