First of all, we can analyze the data of Business expectations of Ukrainian enterprises for the Q1 2020 that the NBU has recently published. Please note that the survey was conducted prior to the introduction of quarantine measures (it ended on March 4). Still, the survey results contain some interesting facts about labor market prospects. Estimates for all the components of business expectations except for the number of employees are positive.
