2015 Economic Crisis
The Economist: Ukraine threatens to wreck two years of economic reform
People walk on Kreschatyk street as this years first snow falls on the ground on Nov. 29.
The Economist is at a conference in Kyiv, organised by the Kyiv Post, a newspaper. Most delegates speak in glowing terms about how Ukraine’s economy, currently moribund, will in time be one of Europe's most prosperous. (Jaded observers at the conference say they have heard it all before.) But few are talking about something much more pressing. Politicians are fighting over Ukraine's proposed budget for next year; if things don't go to plan, 2016 could look very tricky.
