GDP growth in Ukraine in 2013 is expected to be close to zero.
Ukrainian First Deputy Economic Development and Trade Minister Anatoliy Maksiuta told this to reporters on Tuesday, a Ukrinform correspondent reported.
"Macroeconomic figures will be worse than those laid when planning the budget. I will remind you that it [GDP growth] was 3.4%. This year we are expecting [the figure to be] close to zero," he said.
Maksiuta said that in November there was a trend towards a decline in economic downturn.
