While the financing deal with Russia alleviates Ukraine’s external financing pressures, the deal is not without risk. The anti-government protests have increased pressure on President Yanukovych’s hold on power. Meanwhile, the domestic currency remains under pressure.
Landenrapport
The political situation in the Ukraine is troubling, since President Yanukovych is ruling Ukraine in an authoritarian manner. The economy is in bad shape as the country is running twin deficits and in desperate need of additional external financing.
Landenrapport
