KIEV, March 3 – Ukrainian nongovernmental analytical centers have upgraded their forecast for Ukraine's GDP growth in 2010 to 4%, up from 3.5%.

The changes were based on calculations for March made by 13 organizations that participated in a consensus forecast conducted under the aegis of the Expert business magazine.

The survey organizers said that the improvement was linked to more optimistic assessments of the acceleration of consumption and inflow of investment.
