These data are shown in the presentation to the Inflationary Report, posted on the website of the central bank.
In general, the NBU estimates GDP fall in 2015 at 10.3-10.5%.
The National Bank in its report noted an unexpected increase in construction in December by 10.4% compared to December 2014 and the improvement of business expectations, which for the first time since the end of 2013exceeded 100%.
At the same time, positive changes were fully offset by a significant slowdown in retail turnover at the end of last year.
