The Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, together with leading international expert organisations, has started working on updating the Export Strategy of Ukraine in the context of war and post-war recovery.
“Due to russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine, Ukrainian producers have faced many challenges. The updated Export Strategy of Ukraine should take into account the changes in the structure of the Ukrainian economy, the prospects for the country’s post-war recovery, the redistribution of export markets, the reorientation to new regions and specific countries, as well as the adaptation of Ukrainian production to EU standards and consumer needs. The implementation of the Government’s business support programme under the “Made in Ukraine” policy should also contribute to the development of Ukraine’s export potential,” said Yuliia Svyrydenko, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy of Ukraine.
The discussion of the strategy update has already taken place with the participation of Taras Kachka, Deputy Minister of Economy and Trade Representative of Ukraine, and the experts involved: Valeriy Kokot, TIPSTER Project Manager, Ralf Lowack, GIZ representative, Maksym Boroda, UNDP Ukraine Project Manager, Valeriy Pekar, UNDP Ukraine Consultant, and Volodymyr Vlasiuk, Director of SE Ukrainian Industry Expertise.
“Together with our fellow experts, it is important for us to identify the most promising sectors for the development of export-oriented production of goods and services, update the mechanisms for promoting the competitiveness of Ukrainian exports, and change the export structure in favour of products with higher added value. Also, at the state level, it is planned to promote structural changes in the economy – they will be reflected in the updated Export Strategy of Ukraine,” explained Taras Kachka.
During the meeting, the parties discussed methodological approaches to updating the Export Strategy of Ukraine and agreed on further steps. In the future, the joint developments will be analysed by the expert community, business and industry associations, representatives of government agencies and specialised experts in Ukraine.
