"Dramatic Numbers": The NBU estimated the loss of Ukraine from war with Russia

According to him, the amount of $ 140 billion - 2/3 of the pre -war domestic gross product (GDP) of Ukraine. He also noted that, as a result, 8 million citizens were forced to leave the country, which is more than 20% of the population to a full -scale invasion. "These are dramatic figures, but the economy is still alive. We see some adaptation of the economy to the new conditions, and in fact this year we expect that we will have some small but slow GDP growth by 0. 3%," Sergei said. Nikolaychuk.

He also added that according to the NBU estimates, the reduction of GDP of Ukraine for 2022 was 30%. This result indicates that business, power and Ukrainian people quickly adapted to new conditions. "But, of course, the results would be even better, but unfortunately, in the fourth quarter, Ukraine faced continuous terrorist attacks by Russia on our energy infrastructure, which also became an additional burden for our economy," he said.

The gross domestic product reflects the market value of all final goods and services that produced all sectors of the economy during the year. The gross product reflects the "cost" of the economy, and even how it develops or degrades. A few weeks ago, the Ministry of Economy stated that the fall of GDP decreased by 26% (± 2%), so the indicators improved when compared to January 2023 - 32% (± 2%).

The department emphasizes that improvements occur against the background of increasing economic activity. "In February 2023, economic activity was gradually restored due to a significant decrease in electricity shortages and reducing the duration of shutdowns due to the renewal of all available generation species in the power system since mid -February," the Ministry of Economy emphasized.

In addition, optimism appeared in the business environment after Ukraine managed to win in the Energy War with Russia. Against the backdrop of this business, he intensified his work. Thus, in February, compared to January, there was an improvement in the situation in industrial production, as the lack of electricity decreased after the launch of nine atomic blocks.
