Economy of Ukraine 14.02.2007

Ukraine represents one of top thirty world economies, with below average per capita income, and above average economic growth. In the Soviet times, the economy of republic was the second largest in the Soviet Union, being an important industrial and agricultural component of country's planned economy. With the collapse of Soviet system, the country progressed toward a market economy, but the move was somewhat longer and more painful than the proponents of shock therapy were to advise.

The World Bank. Ukraine economic update for 1Q 2007 13.04.2007

While Ukraine remains vulnerable to a number of shocks, the economy is now better balanced than it has been for several years.
In the short run, the primary challenge is to maintain a sufficiently tight fiscal framework to dampen domestic demand and to be able to counteract negative external shocks.
Ukraine will need to lay the basis for a shift towards greater exchange rate flexibility which would allow for a larger role for monetary policy to maintain economic balance.

Novokahovskyi Lime-Sand Brick Plant

Purposes of company: Investments
Company description:

Market Overview:  Construction volume is increasing 20-25% annually, creating an increased demand for high quality façade bricks. The industrial capacity of façade bricks is estimated at 200 million bricks per year. In 2006, a construction boom is expected in southern Ukraine, where the plant is located. The product is used mainly by construction companies and private companies.

Project Overview:

  • Using KSE-400 (Germany)
  • Equipment supplier offers trainings for the buyer’s staff
  • Can produce 30 million bricks per year including high quality hollow façade bricks, ordinary bricks, molded bricks, white and colored bricks

Competitive Advantages:

  • Production of lime-sand bricks is considerably more energy efficient than the production of ceramic bricks. Moreover, the project envisions the reconstruction of one of the two pit-type 50-ton lime-burning kilns; using coal, automatic blending, loading, and burning will save on gas
  • Plant produces its own lime; a sand-pit is located close to the plant
  • No high quality lime-sand hollow bricks are produced in southern Ukraine
  • Due to the considerable decrease in the weight of the bricks, delivery and transportation becomes much easier; bricks can be transported by auto, railway (via the plant’s rail track), or by water (a river port is 8 km away)
    Investment Project Progress:  Market research has been conducted

Key Financials:

  • Total Investment - ˆ 1.5 mln
  • Investment Needed - ˆ 1.5 mln
  • Payoff period - 5 years
