The minister added that the successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the battlefield, the coordinated work of the government and business, the indomitable spirit of the population, the speed of restoration of destroyed critical infrastructure facilities by domestic services, as well as systematic financial support from international partners made it possible to hold the economic front and continue moving towards victory.

As reported, the Government expects Ukraine's GDP to grow by 1% and the inflation rate to slow down to 22.5% in 2023.
