With the current pace of growth, the financial and economic indicators of Ukraine will not reach pre-crisis levels before 2013, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said in an interview with UKRINFORM.
"Last year we had more than 4% growth. This year, we estimate an increase of 4% and more. But in 2009 we lost 15%! That is, with this rate of growth, we will get out of the pit we fell into in a year and a half more," he said.
The Premier stressed that political and economic stability contribute to keeping these growth rates.
According to macroeconomic indicators of the Ministry of Finance, the 2011 budget provides for GDP growth of 4.5% and inflation of 8.9%.
