Ukraine's economy is actively recovering, and this process can be stopped only by one factor – the rapid spread of coronavirus.
"The rapid spread of coronavirus is the only factor that can stop the [economic] recovery. Over the first eight months, the economy has grown by 3%. Industry, agriculture, construction sector revive. Exports, investments and retail sector grow," Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal said at a regular Cabinet’s meeting, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
He added that the international reserves of the National Bank were expected to reach $30 billion by the end of the year.
As reported, 18,912 newly confirmed COVID-19 cases were recorded in Ukraine over the past day. In Kyiv, 1,023 cases were confirmed.
