Economic Review in November. How much have we harvested this year, and what will happen next year?

The Centre for Economic Strategy (CES), together with the German Economic Team (GET), invite you to join the discussion on the topic “Review of the economy in November. How much have we harvested this year, and what will happen next year?”.

The event will take place on November 22 at 17:00 (EEST) on the Zoom platform.

CES has made the eighth monthly review of the most critical changes in the economy since the beginning of the war. Notes from previous months are available on the organization’s website.

During the discussion, our experts will traditionally present an overview of the main fields of Ukraine’s economy, as well as make a particular focus on the agricultural sector.

Last year, it accounted for 40% of the country’s total exports. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the agricultural sector has suffered more than 7 billion dollars in direct losses.

A notable blow to farmers was the temporary blockade of sea routes, which undermined export opportunities. Partly, this problem was solved by “grain agreements” regarding the export of grain. However, they do not enable export to reach the volumes of the pre-war years.

Currently, the harvest is coming to an end. Thus, the issue of sales is becoming even more urgent.
