How have Ukraine’s economy and living standards adapted to the realities of war? NV Business presents 17 key charts — from the record defense budget and drone production boom to labor shortages and rising housing prices in Kyiv.

During the years of full-scale war, Ukraine’s economy has shown unprecedented adaptability. Nominal GDP is recovering, banks are posting windfall profits, and the defense industry has surged, increasing UAV output to 10 million. At the same time, the country faces an acute labor shortage, inflationary pressure and rising living costs — from apartment rents to the average restaurant bill.

NV Business has prepared 17 charts showing the state of the financial system and household finances.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
