KYIV, Nov 17 – The growth of the Ukrainian economy in 2021 may turn out to be at the level of 3% against 4.6% set in the state budget for this year, which will mean the absence of payments on value recovery instruments (VRI) in 2023, according to experts interviewed by Interfax-Ukraine.

"Considering the real GDP indicators in April-June and July-September 2021, the annual growth of real GDP in Ukraine by the end of 2021 is unlikely to exceed 3%," Oleksiy Blinov, the head of the analytical department of Alfa Bank, said.
