According to estimates from the Ministry of Economy, Ukraine recorded a significant acceleration in real GDP growth in November 2025 — up to 5.3%, compared to 2.3% in October. The main contributors to this growth were the agricultural sector, domestic trade, construction, and the processing industry, ProAgro Group reports.
Data from the State Statistics Service indicates that in the third quarter of 2025, GDP increased by 2.1% year-on-year, exceeding the Ministry of Economy’s earlier estimate of 2%. Overall, based on updated quarterly figures, real economic growth for the first nine months of the year reached 1.3%.
“The Ukrainian economy continues to grow despite power supply disruptions caused by large-scale attacks on critical infrastructure, and businesses keep adapting to difficult conditions. At the same time, Ukraine is showing more dynamic growth than Russia. The aggressor state recorded 1.6% real GDP growth in October, while Ukraine posted 2.3% in October and 5.3% in November,” emphasized Economy Minister Oleksii Sobolev.
The government notes that economic growth continues to be supported by business recovery and development programs financed through international assistance, which stimulate domestic production.
Positive structural shifts are also observed in industry: the share of mechanical engineering has increased to 9%, compared to 5.7% in 2021, while enterprises report higher capacity utilization in pharmaceuticals, furniture production, wood processing, and the food and textile industries.
Earlier, it was reported that the Tony Blair Institute has joined efforts to update Ukraine’s rural development strategy.
