Summary:

Two years of Russia’s war in Ukraine have taken an enormous humanitarian and economic toll. Skillful policymaking supported by external financing has helped maintain macroeconomic stability, and the authorities have advanced important structural reforms. Households and business have continued adjusting to wartime conditions, leading to growth and inflation outturns in 2023 that were better than expected at the Second Review. The decision to open EU accession negotiations and approval of the €50 billion Ukraine Facility are positive developments. However, headwinds include discussions on a new round of mobilization and delayed approval of committed external support, which are both weighing down sentiment.
