KYIV, Nov 20 – The growth of real gross domestic product (GDP) of Ukraine compared to the same period last year in October slowed to 6.5% from 11.1% in September, primarily due to the lower contribution of agriculture due to a higher statistical base in October last year, according to the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (IER).

"However, according to our estimate, real GDP in October 2023 was 28% lower than in October 2021," the IER said in its monthly economic monitoring.
