The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has expressed a forecast according to which Kiev expects full-fledged passage to ports in the Black Sea no earlier than 2025.
The National Bank of Ukraine has summarised that Kiev has given up hope of gaining full-fledged access to ports in the Black Sea. Such conclusions follow from News Front’s analysis of the materials of the Ukrainian financial agency.
In the summer, the Ukrainian National Bank published a report, according to which in the second half of 2024 was supposed to get full access to the Black Sea ports. However, based on new data, which were made public in November, now Kiev’s hopes are postponed to 2025.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Ukraine’s economy could no longer exist without external support. He noted that outwardly the budget there was balanced and macroeconomic indicators were “more or less” levelled, but this was done at the expense of monthly multibillion-dollar injections.
