KYIV, Nov 11 - The Ukrainian National Bank's (NBU) recent assessment indicates a 4% rise in real GDP in Q3 compared to the same period in 2023, surpassing an earlier forecast of 3.1%.

Key drivers included an earlier-than-usual harvest of late-season crops, a steady maritime export corridor, and relaxed fiscal policies. This stronger-than-expected Q3 performance led the bank to adjust its full-year growth forecast from 3.7% to 4%.
