NATIONAL ECONOMY OF UKRAINE

 

A highly developed industry is the foundation of the might of any country. Ukraine was the highly developed country. But since it independence Ukraine has confronted economic problems. National economy of Ukraine is considered to be in transition now in its way to a market-based one. The situation today is better in one very important respect than it was in the preceding years: inflation, which was running at 33 % annually up to 1993 has been reduced since then. Ukraine possesses considerable potential in such sectors of economy as machine engineering, aerospace, telecommunications, textile, clothing, footwear, and agriculture (due to its unique black soil). Furthermore, Ukraine has a powerful defense industry, significant scientific potential and has shown considerable achievements in the field of designing brand new technologies that meet international standard requirements.

At present thanks to new economic and political conditions our industry trends to grow and develop from year to year. Machine engineering and military industrial complexes have started to produce about 200 types of new products which had not been manufactured in Ukraine before. Among them are food-processing machinery, medical equipment, transportation vehicles, construction materials and equipment, small farming machines and home appliances.

Ukraine’s major industrial area is in the south-east, namely the Donbas, and the Prydniprovye region. Concentrated here are coal mines, iron and manganese ore deposits, ferrous iron metallurgical plants relating to the chemical petrochemical and machine building plants and power stations.

Ukraine is rich in mineral resources. It completely satisfies her needs in iron, manganese and titanium ores, as well as in rock salt, cement, gypsum, mineral paints, graphite, mercury and uranium. The top soils are mainly black, they are the biggest treasure of the Ukrainian land and allow for considerable progress in agricultural production after the village is reoriented towards the market economy. Because of her potential Ukraine is an industrial-agricultural country. Her machine-building potential includes tractors and agricultural machine building, production of diesel locomotives and railroad cars, sea and river vessels, refrigerators, TV-sets, washing machines, electric motors, industrial robots, motor-cycles and others. Well-developed are black and colored metallurgy, chemical, oil and wood processing industries.

It is clear to everyone in Europe that Ukraine will play a pivotal role on the continent, due to it size, geographical position, economic potential and nuclear capability, in the years following independence. The European Community’s aim in it’s relations with Ukraine is to contribute to the development of Ukraine as a stable, independent, democratic, market-oriented, non-nuclear weapons state.

The main lines of reform now need to be introduced:

    1. to pursue a macroeconomic policy which will balance government income against expenditure;
    2. to close down inefficient plants and factories and to invest in new industries, especially export-oriented;
    3. to introduce a coherent program of privatization, to stimulate exports, especially hard-currency producing;
    4. to reduce further total energy consumption, to attract Western investment, developing links with Russia and the CIS;
    5. to educate and train a new generation of managers who have the ability to implement coherent market reforms.

4. Find in the text English equivalents for the following:

Високорозвинена промисловість, перехід на ринкову економіку, щорічна інфляція, мати значний потенціал, крім того, досягнення в сфері нових технологій, відповідати міжнародним вимогам, мати тенденцію до росту та розвитку, військово-промисловий комплекс, транспортні засоби перевезення, будівельні матеріали, домашні прилади, головний промисловий район, корисні копалини, повністю забезпечувати свої потреби, найбільша цінність, деревообробна промисловість, осьова роль, сприяти розвитку, без’ядерна держава.

  1. Read and translate the text:

Since its independence Ukraine has confronted economic problems. This is due to the fact that the economy of Ukraine was previously quite isolated, not oriented towards satisfying the national interests of the country. The pricing policy was basically inappropriate because the prices for raw materials and fuel supply were very low and were not stimulating their rational use and the introduction of high technologies.

It is quite evident that the economic, scientific and human potential of Ukraine is one of the most promising in Europe and offers many business and investment opportunities. Attraction of new investments in the Ukrainian economy, including foreign investments, is one of the effective ways of overcoming difficult situation.

Answer the following questions:

  1. Why has Ukraine confronted economic problems since its independence?
  2. What can help Ukraine recover its economy?

BRITISH ECONOMY

Britain’s economy is based primarily on private, which accounts for 75 per cent of output and nearly 70 per cent of employment. Britain is one of the highly industrialized countries in the world: for every person employed in agriculture, twelve are employed in industry. Most of the gross national product comes from manufacturing. But services contribute a growing proportion of production – 65 per cent, while manufacturing accounts for 21 per cent.

By successfully exploiting oil and natural gas from the North Sea, Britain has become self-sufficient in energy and expects to remain so for a long time. Exports, mainly to other EC countries, are equivalent to over half of domestic oil production.

International trade plays a vital role in Britain’s economy. Exports of goods and services make up 25 per cent of national output, compared with 20 per cent in 1980s.

From 1981 to 1989 economy experienced eight years of sustained growth. The rate of inflation declined sharply in the early 1980s before rising again in 1990s. By December 1998, it had dropped to 3.6 per cent. The number of people in employment increased by 3 mln in the seven years to mid-1990, but since then self employment has risen. Nevertheless, unemployment is about 10 per cent of the workforce. Growth in manufacturing productivity in Britain in the 1990s was faster than in all other leading industrialized countries, increasing by an average of 4.7 per cent a year till mid-90s. Productivity in the economy as a whole has risen slowly lately.

The Government’s economic strategy is centered on keeping the rate of inflation down. Public spending and borrowing are tightly controlled. At the same time government policy seeks to improve the working of markets and promote enterprise and efficiency. A substantial amount of activity has been transferred from the public to the private sector through privatization and contracting out. Since 1980s 46 major businesses have been privatized, including British Gas, British Telecom and British Steel. The remaining major nationalized industries are British Coal, British Rail, the Post Office and London Transport. These are expected to act as commercial enterprises and achieve a required rate of return on new investment.

Around 250 British industrial companies each have an annual turnover of more than GBP 500 million. British Petroleum is the 11th largest industrial grouping in the world and the 2nd largest in Europe. The largest manufacturing concerns are BAT Industries (tobacco products, food), Imperial Chemical Industries (chemical and synthetic fibres), British Aerospace, Ford, General Electric Company, British Steel, Pharmaceutical Production, Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Textiles, Clothing and Footwear, paper, printing and publishing.

And finally, Britain is a major financial centre, housing some of the world’s leading banking, insurance, securities, shipping, commodities, futures and other financial services and markets.

Direct control on pay, prices, foreign exchange, dividend payments and commercial credit are under strict security of the Government.
