KIEV Mika Zibanejad Jersey , June 6 (Xinhua) -- The World Bank (WB) has raised its projection for Ukraine's gross domestic product (GDP) growth in 2018 by 0.5 percentage points to 3.5 percent, according to the bank's report released here Tuesday.


According to the WB's flagship Global Economic Prospects report, the performance of the Ukrainian economy has improved due to the government's stabilization efforts, supported by international financial institutions Mats Zuccarello Jersey , and a bumper agricultural crop in 2016.


For this year, the bank has maintained its GDP growth forecast for Ukraine at 2 percent, saying the currency in the East European country has strengthened and inflation has retreated as commodity prices have stabilized.


Last week, the Ukrainian government slashed its forecast for the country's GDP growth in 2017 to 1.8 percent from 3 percent estimated in June 2016.


The Ukrainian economy grew 2.3 percent in 2016 after two years of contraction. The government has projected the country's GDP will go up by 3 percent in 2018 Henrik Lundqvist Jersey , with inflation down to 7 percent.

NAIROBI, Aug. 17 (Xinhua) -- Defending Chicago Marathon champions Abel Kirui and Florence Kiplagat of Kenya are plotting to run fast time in this year's event, which will be held on Oct. 8.


Alongside the two champions, organisers have also lined up world record-holder Dennis Kimetto of Kenya Ryan McDonagh Jersey , half marathon world record-holder Zersenay Tadese and three-time Olympic gold medalist Tirunesh Dibaba.


"I want to improve my personal best and Chicago fast course could give me just that. The competition I have is strong and it will spur me forward to run faster," Kirui said on Thursday from Eldoret.


Last year, it boiled down to tactics as Kirui held off compatriot Dickson Chumba to win by three seconds in 2:11:23.


The two-time world champion has a personal best of 2:05:04 and finished fourth at this year's London Marathon in 2:07:45, his fastest time since winning the second of his world titles in 2011.


Kimetto returns to Chicago for the first time since setting a course record of 2:03:45 in 2013.


Prior to that New York Rangers Jerseys , he ran the fastest marathon debut in history in Berlin in 2012 (2:04:16) and in 2014 he became the first athlete in history to cover the marathon within 2:03, clocking a world record of 2:02:57 in Berlin.


An ankle and knee injury sustained in training early this year forced Kimetto out of Boston marathon and the 35-year-old will be keen to improve his fitness in Chicago.


Tadese, a six-time world champion on the roads and cross-country, has only finished three marathons.


While his official personal best is 2:10:41 Pavel Buchnevich Rangers Jersey , the 2004 Olympic 10,000m bronze medallist ran 2:06:51 in the Breaking2 marathon so will be looking to replicate that kind of form in Chicago.


Kenya's Stephen Sambu made his marathon debut in Chicago in 2016, finishing fifth in 2:13:35. With PBs of 26:54.61 for 10,000m and 1:00:41 for the half marathon Brady Skjei Rangers Jersey , it would appear the 29-year-old is capable of significantly improving his marathon PB.


Japanese quartet Kohei Mastsumura, Yuki Takamiya, Chihiro Miyawaki and Ryoichi Matsuo add further strength to this year's field.


Matsumara is the fastest of the four, having set a PB of 2:08:09 at the 2014 Tokyo Marathon. Kiplagat returns to chase her third title in a row and her fourth podium finish.
