Priorities of Ukraine’s Export Development in the Conditions of European Integration

Abstract

A comparative analysis of the coefficient of participation in the international division of labor and the coefficient of export efficiency of Ukraine and its main trading partners have been carried out. The indicators of development of goods and services exports to the EU countries are analyzed. On the basis of the «Input-Output» tables export orientation, import dependence and structure of import flows of certain types of economic activity were calculated. It is determined that the low share of imports in accumulation on the background of domestic science inability to produce innovative and technologically advanced products shows conservatism in industrial policy and production on a morally and technically obsolete equipment that does not meet the requirements of scientific and technological progress. Most likely, Ukraine’s export potential will be stimulated by the growth of demand from key partners from the EU, but it is worth noting that the rise in prices of goods for intermediate consumption from abroad, as well as the deterioration of price terms of trade, will restrain the possibility of increasing Ukraine’s exports.
