The International Monetary Fund(IMF) has warned that Ukraine's economy will shrink by what percent in 2022?
A)
32%
B)
35%
C)
38%
D)
41%

Correct Answer : Option (B) - 35%



The International Monetary Fund(IMF) has estimated Ukraine’s GDP will collapse by 35 percent this year(2022), while Russia’s output will shrink by 8.5 percent in 2022.
 
But IMF Chief Economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas told a news briefing a tightening of sanctions against Russia to include restrictions on energy exports could double Russia’s GDP decline to 17 percent by 2023.
 
Spillovers from higher energy prices, a loss of confidence, and financial market turmoil would cut another two percentage points off of global growth forecasts, Gourinchas said.
 
The war, which Russia has described as a "special military operation", has caused a humanitarian crisis in Eastern Europe, displacing about five million Ukrainians to neighbouring countries, the IMF said..
