KYIV—Ukrainian inflation probably accelerated further in September, fuelled by rocketing gas prices on external markets, but it may slow down by the end of 2021 thanks to government and central bank measures, a Reuters monthly poll showed on Thursday.

According to the median forecast of Ukrainian analysts, September inflation reached 10.7 percent year-on-year from 10.2 percent in August. The highest estimate predicted a rise to 11.5 percent.
