Developmental and Regional Cooperation Impact:

The Operation is expected to have modest but favorable economic benefits for the Ukrainian economy, the most relevant being additional tax revenue gains from increased economic activity under the amount provided. In addition, the amount provided will help further enhance benefits such as increases in employment, increase in export capacity and competitiveness, and multiplier effects for other parts of the economy. The regional cooperation element is similarly expected to be modest but favourable. Other BSTDB countries are important trade partners for Ukraine so a portion of exports is likely to go there, while the import financing provided under the facility will be restricted to importation of goods from other BSTDB member countries. Such transactions will have positive, albeit modest, impact on regional cooperation, helping to enhance intra-regional trade.
