Description
Last summer, in June 2018, the expert community stated the uncertain nature of Ukraine. There were ideas that the state was on the verge of a deep economic crisis because of the need for payments to creditors. Today, the geopolitical factor and social electoral turbulence are taken on the focus.
Yuriy Gorodnichenko and Timothy Milovanov will share their vision of the current economic situation in Ukraine, as well as understanding the possible consequences of political decisions and scenarios for macroeconomic development of the state. Their experience is particularly interesting, as combining a deep understanding of the Ukrainian context with the best practices of the West.
