KIEV, July 22 – Rent rates on offices in Kiev, in the absence of a hryvnia devaluation and a considerable worsening of the macroeconomic situation in the country, will remain stable until the end of 2009, a managing partner at CB Richard Ellis international consulting company, Roman Tsurkan, said.

"At present, the pace of fall in rent rates has slowed, as the main wave of adjustment of demand for offices among leasers has passed. If by the end of the year a further devaluation of the national currency or considerable worsening of the macroeconomic situation is not apparent, we expect rent rates to remain rather stable," he told Interfax-Ukraine.
