The expert named the clearest indicator of & laquo; cooling & raquo; economies of Ukraine

Ukraine's industry will fall by at least 25% in March 2020, Ukrainian economist Alexander Ohrimenko said on March 24, commenting on the statistics released the previous day in the country. Ohrimenko recalled that according to official information. Industrial production of Ukraine in January-February of this year fell by 3.1% compared to the same period of 2019. Mining fell 4.3%. Remember how many conversations there were during the times of Yatsenyuk and Groisman that high gas tariffs for the population, it is forced by the measure. Because you need money to increase the production of Ukrainian gas, which should replace imported gas. Already and money, these stolen, and there was no production, and there was no production, the economist emphasizes. He also noted that the food and chemical industry showed a small growth, but there was a drop in metallurgy by 6.3% and mechanical engineering by 13.6%. It is clear that now in the world demand for metal will only fall. The global economy is sneezing, there is no demand for metal, and not expected in the near future. Especially, there is no demand for Ukrainian mechanical engineering products. And earlier, it was bought poorly, and now it will not be bought, the specialist stressed. In conclusion, he noted that electricity production and consumption in Ukraine, according to official data alone, fell by 7.1% in January-February 2020. It is a lot of. It is a lot of. So the shadow economy has fallen, too. The decline in electricity demand is probably the clearest indicator of the cooling down of the economy, Ohrimenko summed up. The news agency recalls that the previous day the State Statistics Service of Ukraine reported that the volume of industrial production in February decreased by 1.5%, and in total in January-February by 3.1% compared to similar periods last year. Experts note that industrial production in Ukraine is decreasing for the 10th month in a row, and this is not the only problem of the Ukrainian economy.
