War and Conflict
As the conflict in Ukraine continues on into the latter months of 2022, this book outlines macroeconomic policies to put the economy of Ukraine on a sustainable trajectory for the duration of the war. The authors emphasise at the outset that Ukraine's crisis is not a setting for a typical macroeconomic adjustment programme. The country's very survival-and Europe's future-is at stake. This key constraint should condition the design of any programme. Extraordinary challenges must be matched by extraordinary policies and extraordinary support from Ukraine's international partners.
