KYIV, Aug 2 – The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) estimated the growth of real gross domestic product (GDP) of Ukraine in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year at 3.7%, as it predicted in April.

"It [growth] was supported by an increase in budget expenditures, a faster harvest of early grains and subsequent recovery in livestock farming, as well as stable operation of the sea corridor," the National Bank noted in the Inflation Report published on its website.
