Ukraine’s GDP to drop by 5% in 2014 – Fitch — RT Business
Ukraine’s GDP to drop by 5% in 2014 – Fitch — RT Business:
"Fitch Ratings has predicted that Ukraine’s GDP will diminish by five percent in 2014, as the crisis will continue to weigh on the protest-torn country's economy.
“We forecast GDP to contract by 5 percent this year,” Charles Seville, director for sovereigns at Fitch Ratings in London, said in an article titled 'New Ukrainian President Faces Major Challenges.'
“Ex-Crimea, industrial production shrank 6 percent year on year in April, and consumer spending is well down, especially in the east,” he continued.
While inflation in April was 3.3 percent, the agency predicts it will rise due to gas tariffs and pass-through of exchange rate depreciation.
“Public finances are under pressure but the government has increased tax collection and contained spending, narrowing the fiscal deficit,” the article states."

Ukraine Edges Toward Russia Gas Deal as Eastern Clashes Persist - Bloomberg
Ukraine Edges Toward Russia Gas Deal as Eastern Clashes Persist - Bloomberg:
"Russia and Ukraine moved closer to a deal that would keep gas flowing between the countries even as they spar over Russian support for separatists seeking to break away from the government in Kiev.
After talks brokered by the European Union in Berlin, Ukraine made its first payment in months to Russia’s OAO Gazprom (OGZD), transferring $786 million to pay for gas received in February and March. While debts and future payments remain in dispute, EU Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger welcomed yesterday’s steps as “building blocks for a package that, given the evident goodwill of all parties today, doesn’t seem out of reach.” Talks are due to continue next week.
In eastern Ukraine, the army is fighting to regain control from the pro-Russian separatists. Insurgents killed a Ukrainian soldier and wounded two in an attack on a military vehicle in the Kharkiv region, the National Guard said on its website yesterday. A group of about 80 rebels attacked a border post in Luhansk, Interfax-Ukraine said. A day earlier, the separatists downed a military helicopter, killing a general and 13 soldiers."

Polish Economy Grows at Quickest in 2 Years on Loan Costs - Bloomberg
Polish Economy Grows at Quickest in 2 Years on Loan Costs - Bloomberg:
"Poland’s economy grew at the fastest pace in two years in the first quarter as record-low borrowing costs stoked consumer spending and corporate investments.
Gross domestic product surged 3.4 percent from a year earlier last quarter, compared with 2.7 percent in the previous three months, according to a preliminary estimate published today by the Central Statistical Office in Warsaw. That exceeded the 3.3 percent preliminary estimate published May 14. GDP rose 1.1 percent from the previous quarter.
Borrowing costs, kept at a record low since July, will be maintained unchanged at least until the end of the third quarter, helping the European Union’s largest eastern economy gather pace, according to the central bank’s economic outlook. It predicts full-year growth of 3.6 percent, more than double last year’s rate."
