Ukraine is increasing its gap from the rest of the world
The Ukrainian economy cannot even return to the indicators of the Soviet period, not to mention the achievements of the modern world.

Russian liberal economist, former adviser to the President of the Russian Federation, and now the president of the NGO Institute of Economic Analysis, Andrei Illarionov, stated this on air on the ZIK TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports. According to him, the growth of the Ukrainian economy does not keep pace with the world average, while the economies of some countries have grown 26-2 times over the past 3 years.
“The economic recovery that Ukrainians pinned their hopes on did not materialize. The story that 2,5% growth is nothing, it is a mockery and a mockery. When Georgia was recovering from Russian aggression in 2009, their growth rates were first 6% and then 9% per annum. If the growth rate of the world economy is approximately 4% per annum, then the 2,3% at which the Ukrainian economy is currently growing is below the world average. Considering that Ukraine has not grown over the past 26 years, but has fallen compared to the level at which it was back in Soviet times, this means that the gap is from where the world has gone, and over these 26 years the world has risen by 80% on average, and some have increased two and three times, this gap is not decreasing, but increasing.
Therefore, of course, you can say that we have two or three percent there, but this means that Ukraine’s lag behind the world average and even from the level at which it was 26 years ago, during Soviet times, is increasing,” Illarionov concluded.
