Ukraine's fixed investment and trade figures improved significantly in the third quarter of 2016 as the economic recovery takes hold.

The crucial investments in fixed assets gained momentum, rising for the third quarter in a row by 24.8% y/y in the autumn session from 17.6% y/y in Q2. 

At the same time, while real exports dropped 5.5% y/y in the quarter, this was less than the 6.5% y/y drop in Q2. Real imports surged 13.45 y/y from -0.1% y/y in the previous quarter, which is indicative of recovering consumption and a return to stability. 

The economy grew in the third quarter too by 2%, while industrial production surged from a 0.8% gain in October to a whopping 3.7% gian y/y in November.
