Inflation will be low in the nearest months in Ukraine, making up 0.1-0.3% in February-March.

Head of the information-analytical center Forex Club in Ukraine Mykola Ivchenko has said about this, the Center's press service informs.

"Inflation in February-March may be 0.1-0.3%, which approximately may be compared to the January index. Traditionally, over this period, inflation rates approximately may be equivalent to January rates," a statement reads.

The situation on the foods market remains relatively stable thanks to an increase in the number of markets and trading places on them. However, the current monetary policy of the National Bank of Ukraine also promotes relatively low inflation.

By results of 2013, inflation in Ukraine may be about 5%. The higher rates of this index growth in the current year will be promoted by expected enhancement of economic growth on the backdrop of improvement of the situation in the Eurozone, more liberal monetary policy of the NBU in the second half of the year, as well as possible rise of prices for gas and housing and communal services. Positive expectations as regards the yield, as well as growing competition on the foods market, will curb inflation," Mykola Ivchenko forecasts.
