  • President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko stated that he has signed a contract this year, according to which he transferred his stake in Roshen Corporation to an independent "blind" trust.[2]
  • Ukraine's central bank more than halved its 2016 growth forecast Thursday as the cash-strapped country battles crises ranging from falling commodity prices to a new trade embargo by Russia. The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) also left its main borrowing rate unchanged at 22 percent in order to keep persistent inflation expectations in check.[3]
  • Influenza continues to circulate in Ukraine as well as the WHO European Region, with several regions in Ukraine exceeding the epidemic threshold.
