Combines Business “will be held the second National Forum of export support. Forum aims to help domestic exporters to improve the business environment and attract investment in Ukraine. This was discussed at a press briefing on announcing the Forum, which was held in the press center of the Ukrainian crisis media center.

The idea II National Forum to support exports – the need for significant reform of the economy and all areas relating to export, because without such support reforms and further rise in domestic production and improve economic performance not possible. “Ukraine is an export-oriented country. Therefore, all issues related to support national exports, should always be the focus of both government and civil society organizations and the business itself. II National Forum of export support – platform for effective dialogue between business and government. It will be held at a time when Ukraine is updated in power, and we hope that members of the new government will take active part in the Forum, listen to the wishes of business and perceive them as a guide to action “- said Sergey whistled, chairman of the Organizing Committee, Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine.

                    

The program of the Forum provides a gala session with representatives of the Government, Parliament and Presidential Administration of Ukraine on “Implementation of effective economic reforms in Ukraine as a key to successful support domestic producers and increase Ukrainian exports”, panel discussions, round tables and work specialized sections.

Forum consists of 15 panels, during which business tries to develop the best solutions on a range of issues related to the support and promotion of domestic goods and services exporters in markets of foreign countries, especially the EU, overcoming technical barriers, modernization and technical re enterprises in accordance with EU standards, issuing certificates of compliance, licensing products; determine principles regarding the formation of Ukraine export-credit agency, institution authorized economic operators; discuss problems SMEs in export-import operations and more. “We obviously already reached the point where no reforms, only administrative measures can not increase exports. Understanding its role of CCI Ukraine is trying to create the right conditions to promote domestic products from Ukraine. Our common goal – to Ukraine as soon as possible came to the forefront as an exporting country, as well as the state, for which the investor will always be a welcome guest and ally in resolving many issues, including the development and maintenance of both exports and domestic production “, – said Sergei whistled.        

Naturally, today we can quickly reorient the economy from Russia towards the European Union – will be lost, and because of the products should be placed in other markets. For this reason, some sections of the Forum will address the issue of the Chinese and African markets. In particular, the planned two large panels aimed at the development of Ukrainian-Chinese relations. One of them will be dedicated to the development of the agricultural sector, the other – the strengthening of cooperation between Ukraine and China in the framework of the “economic zone” Silk Road “. “China has become the first export market for Ukraine in 2015. Many Ukrainian goods already mastered the Chinese market. How to deliver the goods? How to deal with China? These issues will be treated within the agricultural panel. China is very consistent and systematic approach to the implementation of any of its initiatives. Under the initiative “economic zone” Silk Road “has created financial instruments. This – the Silk Road Fund and the Asian Bank for infrastructure investment. For Ukraine, this means availability of finance that can be used to implement joint projects. Practical advice on how to take advantage of financial opportunities and enhance capabilities to create new jobs will be on the second panel. Participation in it will ambassador and trade representative in China, as part of the business will be supported by the government “, – said Ruslan Osipenko, executive director of the China Trade Association.         

“Joint seminars that we organize with CCI from 2015, which is 9 workshops in 7 regions of Ukraine have shown that our customers, small and medium-sized businesses need most export support, they lack the experience to shift to more sophisticated and demanding market EU. Exports of goods to Asia is an additional area that will allow our companies to conduct more active in foreign markets “, – said Yevgeny Borodin, head of Centre for SME UkrSibbank.
