The percentage of real GDP is low as it grew by just 0.6% in the 2nd and the 3-rd trimester. We are facing a frozen economy."

In 2022, inflation will be a far more important issue than the pace of economic growth, Ivanov said. According to him, the government's focus on key reforms is urgent in order to preserve people's purchasing power and stabilize the economy.
