As per Svyrydenko, the foundation for increasing exports has already been laid. In August, Ukraine launched an alternative sea corridor. Grain, metal and other goods are now being exported through this route. As a result, exports by sea increased by 30.7% or 7.340 million tons in December compared to November. Metal exports increased by 40% for semi-finished products and 45.3% for rolled products.

Another important decision to increase exports was the introduction of a unique mechanism for insuring ships against war risks. It also reduces the cost of grain transportation insurance to 1-1.25%. The Ministry of Economy developed this mechanism together with international partners. On the part of Ukraine, insurance guarantees are covered by the state budget through the Export Credit Agency.
