6 2. Factors behind export trends Factors stimulating exports Devaluation Improved access to the EU market Good harvest Factors reducing exports Decreased global commodity prices Deteriorated trade relations with Russia Decreased domestic output: -- broken production chains / damaged infrastructure -- increased price for inputs -- limited access to financial resources FX controls 6

7 Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Devaluation boosted export prices in UAH Export vs. domestic prices % yoy in UAH Due to devaluation in , export prices expressed in UAH have grown faster than domestic prices Thus: Stimulus for exports Export deflator Deflator of gross final consumption Source: Ukrstat 7

9 Drop in global commodity prices reduces value of exports % yoy Source: IMF, FAO, Ukrstat Global price indices Jan-15 Feb-15 Mar-15 Apr-15 May-15 Jun-15 IMF nonfuel commodity prices index FAO cereals price index Export prices, Ukraine Global prices for key Ukrainian export products dropped significantly in 2015: Nonfuel commodity index: -16.5% in June 2015 Cereals price index: -16.8% in June 2015 Half-year loss in revenues from lower commodity prices: minimum USD 2.9 bn or about a quarter of total reduction in exports (based on 2015 volumes) 9

10 Q Q Q Q Q Q Exports to Russia deteriorated faster due to trade barriers Exports of goods and services to Russia and ROW % yoy Source: NBU Exports of goods and services to RU Exports of goods and services to ROW Exports to Russia drop faster than to rest of the world (ROW): Exports to RU: -56% in H Exports to ROW: -26% in H Reasons: Increase in TBT/SPS related Russian bans on Ukrainian products Lost access to Russian public procurement market Ukraine s ban to export military and double-purpose goods to Russia Delays related to customs procedures 10

11 Jan-2014 Mar-2014 May-2014 Jul-2014 Sep-2014 Nov-2014 Jan-2015 Mar-2015 May-2015 Jul-2015 Industrial production dropped diminishing export capacity % yoy Source: Ukrstat Note: without Crimea Industrial output Industrial output dropped by 20% yoy in H Reasons: 11 Broken production chains / damaged infrastructure due to military conflict Lost exports of Donbas region: about USD 4.7 bn Increased price of inputs (inflation, devaluation, import surcharge) Limited access to financial resources (50+ banks under temporary administration / insolvent in , high interest rates)

12 FX controls affects exporters negatively Period NBU Decree Mandatory sale of export receipts, share of receipts Mandatory return of export receipts to Ukraine, days to return Before Nov-2012 no 180 days Nov-2012 till Aug-2014 #475 (2012) #479 (2012) #164 (2013) #457 (2013) 50% 90 days Aug-2014 till Sep-2014 #515 (2014) 100% 90 days Since Sep-2014 #591 (2014) #160 (2015) 75% 90 days 12

13 Conclusions Reduction in total exports accelerated in Ukraine in H1 2015, despite devaluation and preferential access to the EU market There are both external and internal reasons for negative trends External reasons, which are largely beyond control: Military conflict in the east of the country Increased trade barriers on exports to Russia Reduced global commodity prices Internal reasons that Ukraine could alter in short- to medium-term: Decreased domestic production FX controls Therefore, macroeconomic stabilisation and successful reforms remain among key factors for exports recovery 13
