The Centre for Economic Strategy team records a weekly podcast entitled ‘What’s Up with the Economy?’ at the Hromadske Radio studio.

Anhelina Zavadetska, CES Communications Manager, and Maksym Samoiliuk, CES Economist, host the podcast. Studio guests include leading economists, foreign experts, and government officials.

On this page, we collect translations of our issues featuring the most interesting summaries from our guests.

Below are links to streaming services where you can listen to the podcast in Ukrainian.
