Ukraine’s GDP growth is expected to slow to 2.5% in 2025, amid high uncertainty related to Russia’s war on the country, says #EBRDrep
However, our forecast for 2026 remains unchanged at 5.0% assuming a ceasefire and benefits from post-war reconstruction.

Mario Draghi decries the EU's slowness to act.
"Sometimes, inertia is even presented as respect for the rule of law. That is complacency. Competitors in the US and China are far less constrained, even when acting within the law. To carry on as usual is to resign ourselves to falling behind."
One year ago, Mario Draghi presented his report on competitiveness.
The first act of the new Commission was to translate it into policies and actions.
This is the urgency mindset we promised ↓

De Russische terreur in Oekraïne escaleert verder.
Nu een nóg grotere aanval met 800+ drones en 13 raketten. Voor het eerst is het regeringsgebouw in Kyiv geraakt.
Dit moet stoppen: dus meer steun aan Oekraïne, massieve druk op Rusland, en een vredesplan met robuuste veiligheidsgaranties. 🇺🇦
❗️Now we see another accumulation of Russian forces in some areas of the front, - Zelensky.
"The impudence of the Russians is becoming greater: they are increasingly attacking Ukraine during the day with dozens of strike drones....Russia continues to strike.
