New EBRD report shows contrasting fates of former Eastern bloc economies The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), founded to help build up market economies in the wake of the fall of the Soviet Union, has issued a new growth forecast for the region. It predicts that Ukraine will see its GDP increase by 3 percent in 2024.
