The agreement on free trade zone with Canada in the medium term will bring to the Ukrainian economy $200-300 million dollars. About it today journalists were reported by the trade representative of Ukraine Natalia Mykolskiy.
“It is the first agreement that we signed with the state of the North American continent. Moreover, Canada is a country with significant disposable income per capita, and its imports account for 2% of the total volume of imports,” she said.
In addition, N. Mykolska noted that the entry into force of the FTA with Canada means abolition of 98% of existing duties. “We want within 5 years reach the figures ten times more than now. And now we have $26 million But we can go for the big numbers if we use all the terms provided by the agreement,” she said.
We will remind, earlier it was reported that the Cabinet expects that the Verkhovna Rada will ratify the agreement on the FTA with Canada in the near future.
