Economic growth likely remained lackluster in Q3 in annual terms, hovering near Q2’s pace, due to heavy Russian attacks on the power grid. According to Ministry of Economy estimates, the economy expanded by 3.9% in January–August, cooling from January–June’s 4.1% rise due to weaker agricultural production in August plus power shortages denting industrial activity in July. However, construction and trade activity were upbeat in July–August, and goods exports accelerated from Q2, providing tailwinds to overall growth. In other news, the G7 approved a USD 50 billion loan to Ukraine in late October. The pivotal deal will be backed by profits from USD 260 billion in frozen Russian assets. Meanwhile, market bets on Donald Trump winning the U.S. presidential elections in November leading to an end of the war fuelled demand for Ukraine’s dollar bonds in the same month.
