KYIV, Sept 24 – Ukraine’s inflation, spurred by growing energy prices, is likely to hit 10% in 2021, but will not be able to destroy the country’s ‘positive’ economic development, the Economy Ministry said Friday.

"Even taking into account the unexpectedly high level of growth in global energy prices, we have to consider the fact in the absence of new challenges for the economy, the inflation rate is likely to be close to 10%, which in fact does not bear any signs of inflation-destructive impact on the positive achievements of economic development," the ministry said.
