Ukraine’s public debt on Friday dropped to below 50 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), for the first time since 2013, the press service of the Ukrainian Ministry of Finance said.

The ministry noted that the public debt-to-GDP ratio was reduced due to the successful implementation of a medium-term strategy for managing public debt.
