Ukraine’s GDP growth is expected at the level of 1.8% at the end of 2017.

Vice Prime Minister – Minister for Economic Development and Trade Stepan Kubiv said this during a conference of Fitch Ratings international rating agency in Kyiv on November 30, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"We expect positive trends in economic growth by 1.8% by the end of 2017,” Kubiv said.
