KYIV, Dec 20 – The Ukrainian economy continues to grow even despite the fact that last month Polish truckers blocked ground border crossing points for road cargo, but the growth rate in November this year slowed compared to November last year to 4%, the Ministry of Economy reported.

For January-November 2023, economic growth is estimated at 5.5% compared to the corresponding period last year, the ministry said on Wednesday.

First Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Economy Yulia Svyrydenko said that in November, the almost month-long blocking of the Polish-Ukrainian border by Polish truck drivers was the main negative factor for exporting manufacturers and manufacturers dependent on imported raw materials when delivering products by road.
