Inflation Hits 44pc in Ukraine amid Economic Collapse

Share Print 0

Inflation will hit 44pc in Ukraine this year, as the embattled economy has seen prices soar amid economic collapse.

Consumer prices have hit eye-watering levels in 2015, according to the country’s central bank governor. Inflation averaged 24.9pc in 2014.

Valeria Gontareva, of the National Bank of Ukraine, said authorities were aiming to get inflation to around 5pc by 2019.

The war-torn economy, which has been plunged into crisis following conflict with neighbouring giant Russia, will also start to gradually lift capital controls as it begins to receive disbursements of bail-out cash from international lenders, said Ms Gontareva.
