The country has not yet recovered from the pandemic shock, and now the energy crisis and the war in Ukraine are rubbing salt into its wounds. The economic prospects appear gloomy, with weak growth and elevated inflation. We are revising our GDP projection for 2022 downwards, to 2.5% (from 3.5%); meanwhile, we expect inflation to be higher, at around 8% (from 3.5%).
