Our new #EBRDrep revises growth across our regions this year down to 2.8%. The report, titled “Along the adjustment path”, cites a slowdown in economic activity and the impact of the conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon as factors driving the trend. https://t.co/Jta6kFtE8Z

Another visit to Kyiv is for me both a duty and a practical necessity so that we @EBRD can discuss with our friends in government face to face what more we can do to support #Ukraine It is a pleasure to be back @Denys_Shmyhal @Svyrydenko_Y @SergiiMarchenk3 !
