A 15.1% fall of the Ukrainian economy in 2009 will be finally overcome in 2012, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov says.
"If everything goes according to an optimistic scenario, it will be 6% (economy growth in 2011). In other words, in 2012 we will finally reach the indexes of the pre-crisis period," he told a final press conference in Kyiv.
Azarov reminded that this year an increase of real gross domestic product is expected slightly less than 5%, and forecast of its growth by 4.5% is laid down in the next year budget.
