Volume of Ukrainian exports increased by 20.9% this year - Mykolska

During 10 months of 2017, the volume of trade turnover in Ukraine increased by 24%, while the volume of exports grew by 20.9%.

Deputy Minister of  Economic Development and Trade – Ukraine’s Trade Representative Natalia Mykolska said this at a press conference, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"For 10 months, we have an increase in turnover by 24% or UAH 14.619 billion. Accordingly, we say that we have the export growth, and it continues at the level of 20.9%, and, in general, our exports amounted to USD 35.183 billion," Mykolska said.
