KIEV, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Ukraine's gross domestic product grew 5.9 percent in the second quarter of this year compared to a fall of 17.8 percent in the same period last year, the State Statistics Committee said on Thursday.
The new figure was slightly lower than preliminary data issued by the Statistics Committee in August which foresaw growth of 6.0 percent for the April-June period this year.
The committee no longer issues monthly GDP figures. (Reporting by Natalya Zinets; Writing by Richard Balmforth)
