Overview

This volume explores the recent impressive economic growth in Ukraine from a regional and international perspective. In doing so, it looks at the extent to which economic reform, a positive international economic climate and the devaluation of the Hryvnia in 1998/99, have contributed to economic growth in Ukraine. The text also examines the steps that need to be taken to ensure that this growth continues. The book features contributions by over twenty Ukrainian and international experts, who provide insights from neighbouring countries with detailed analysis of the current situation in Ukraine.
