  Monthly Economic Monitor Ukraine No.3 (209)

  Highlight: GAS MARKET
  Late February was marked by the victory celebration at the Ukrainian gas market as Ukrainian Naftogaz won the case on gas transit against the Russian Gazprom at the Stockholm Arbitrage Court. Together with almost USD 2 bn that the Naftogaz owes the Gazprom in the gas case, the Naftogaz net win is USD 2.6 bn. However, already on March 1, 2018, Russia used the same tactic against Ukraine as it did in 2009: refusing to supply gas to the country. Ukraine faced gas shortage.

  Macroeconomic Forecast Ukraine - Positive signs emerge

  Economic activity in the first half of 2016 increased as compared to the first half of 2015, but was lower than expected. This to large degree reflected difficulties in moving products and inputs to their customers. We project that economic activity will increase in the remainder of 2016 as logistical problems reduce and external conditions improve. Thus, we will likely keep our forecast of GDP growth in 2016.

  Trade policy in Ukraine: Strategic aspects and next steps to be taken

  Two years after Ukraine’s WTO accession in May 2008, policy makers have once again to take strategic decisions as to future trade policy of the country. It is hard to overestimate the importance of such decisions, since they do not only affect trade flows, but also the speed of structural reforms, an issue of practically same importance as trade itself.

  "If someone thinks that we can make some magical arrangements and guide Ukraine out of the recession in spite of the world trends - it is just populism and myth"

  We have already passed the "bottom" of the fall. We will get "plus" in the basic scenario in 2010 despite all the problems. GDP growth will be triggered by the economic activity of the metallurgists, the chemists, and in agriculture.

  Official Reserve Adequacy in Ukraine: Assessment and Policy Implications

  At normal times, many people wonder why central banks, especially in emerging markets, keep vast amounts of official reserves, and they accordingly emphasize the (opportunity) costs of such holdings. However, in times of a financial crisis, the benefits of holding official reserves become evident. Reserves help to absorb external shocks, making the likelihood and the negative consequences of such shocks smaller.
