Ukraine’s economy showed stronger momentum at the end of 2025, with year‑on‑year GDP growth rising to 2.8% in the fourth quarter, up from 2.1% in the third quarter of 2025. The latest figure, updated on 12 March 2026, underscores a continued, if gradual, improvement in economic activity.
Both the current and previous readings are based on year‑on‑year comparisons, measuring the change in GDP in each respective quarter against the same quarter a year earlier. The pick-up from 2.1% to 2.8% suggests that Ukraine managed to slightly accelerate its recovery pace as the year drew to a close, potentially signaling improving conditions heading into 2026.
