Expected state-sponsored development projects would support otherwise weak domestic demand, but the threat of new sanctions weighs on business confidence and investor appetite.<\/p>\n<p>For Kazakhstan, supportive oil prices, rising oil output and recovery in non-oil economy will support GDP growth of 3.5% in 2019 (down from 3.7% in 2018), but recent tenge depreciation will weigh on consumer confidence and domestic demand.<\/p>\n<p>For Ukraine, GDP growth will slow to 3.2% in 2019 from 3.5% in 2018 on slowing reforms, political and geopolitical uncertainty weighing on investment, and challenging demographics. While domestic demand improved and inflation declined, event risks remain high and the banking system weak. -0-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The outlook for non-financial companies in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) for 2019 is stable, Moody&#8217;s Investors Service said in its annual outlook on the region<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":175182,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","tstyn_error":""},"categories":[12139,9216],"tags":[12278,12344,15648,474],"class_list":{"0":"post-117778","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy-en","8":"category-news","9":"tag-cis","10":"tag-gdp","11":"tag-moodys-2","12":"tag-474"},"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/armbanks.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117778","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/armbanks.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/armbanks.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armbanks.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armbanks.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117778"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/armbanks.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117778\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armbanks.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/armbanks.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117778"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armbanks.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117778"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armbanks.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117778"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
