KYIV, April 17 – The growth of Ukraine's real GDP in 2019 will slow down to 2.5%, but as the level of political uncertainty decreases by 2020, economic growth will resume to 3%, according to the macroeconomic forecast of HSBC.

Tight fiscal policy is one of the reasons why we predict a slowdown in GDP growth to 2.5% in 2019 from 3.3% last year, HSBC said.
