The IMF’s European Department releases its April 2008 Regional Economic Outlook
Financial turbulence is continuing longer than expected amid rapid price increases for food and energy, while the U.S economy is slowing sharply. With growth prospects for Europe also changed as a result, the Outlook focuses on near-term policy challenges. It reviews the implications of the financial turbulence for Europe and quantifies the links from financial sector turmoil to the real economy. A separate chapter discusses the sustainability and vulnerability of the convergence of emerging Europe. The April 2008 Regional Economic Outlook is launched to the public in Kyiv on April 22nd, 2008.
New Product Launched by the IMF in Ukraine

Financial Systems.
The REO was launched to the public simultaneously in London and Kyiv on November 12, 2007. This event will introduce a publication that is of direct relevance for Ukraine because it deals - inter alia - with financial sector developments and vulnerabilities in transition economies (including Ukraine).
