Trump will present a gift to Putin, who will cost Ukraine - Atlantic Council

US Department of Commerce made two important decisions that threaten economic and geo-political stability in Ukraine.

This was in an article for the analytical center Atlantic Council says President North American Interpipe Daniel Valk, transfers ZN.ua.

The article notes that in 2014 after the Russian invasion of Crimea and the Donbass US International Trade Commission and Department of Commerce decided to impose anti-dumping duties on imports of steel pipes used in the oil industry.

But due to the extraordinary circumstances in Ukraine Department of Commerce in September 2014 signed an agreement to suspend the anti-dumping duty, allowing the Ukrainian producers to sell a limited number of tubes in the United States at a price determined by the American side.

Valk indicates that it has allowed Ukraine is stable enough to plan their sales in the US, which was very important in hard times. But despite the fact that the war is going on in the Donbass, and at the Ukrainian pipe is less than 1% of imports in the US Department of Commerce announced that the Ukrainian-US agreement on the suspension of anti-dumping duty nevertheless cease to operate on 10 July.

In addition, the Department has initiated an investigation in respect of all supplies of steel in the United States, which threatens to Ukraine even greater restrictions on the sale of their products.

Valk writes - worse is that benefits from the protection of the American department of Russian company TMK and its American "daughter" TMK IPSCO. According to the report, US International Trade Commission in 2014, a Russian company, and US Steel are the largest producers of pipes for oil production in the United States, which meet 16% of the domestic market.

TMK IPSCO belongs to Dmitry Pumpyanskiy - Russian oligarch and friend of President Vladimir Putin. In 2008, Russia's TMK IPSCO acquired the US company SSAB of Sweden. In those days, the oligarchs en masse to withdraw money from Russia. Many of them received British citizenship. Pumpyanskiy not left Russia. But it sold a controlling stake in TMK. But in May 2017, he regained control of the company.

The author reminds us that the whole world will be watching a meeting between presidents Putin and Trump this week. It would be tragic if the import solutions Trump administration steel, which can cause great harm to Ukraine, will not be considered carefully in American politics.

Valk added that Ukrainian Prime Minister Vladimir Groisman and Economic Development Minister Stepan Kubiv sent an official letter to the US State Department and the Department of Commerce with a request to extend the agreement to suspend the anti-dumping duty for the Ukraine.

"In contrast to the tougher US sanctions against Russia, which a few weeks ago took the Senate, the administration's decision on steel Trump may punish Ukraine and to serve for the benefit of business interests of Putin's friend. If the administration still limit the Ukrainian deliveries of steel to the United States and further weaken Ukrainian economy, Trump will present a great gift to Putin, who will cost Ukraine ", - says the article.

Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Wednesday 5 July. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Ukraine’s economy has turned a corner (Financial Times)

Ukraine’s economy has turned a corner (Financial Times)

Reform, not military power, will determine the country’s future

On the surface, not much seems to have changed since Russia-sponsored separatists seized parts of eastern Ukraine three years ago. Fighting has flared up intermittently, but the front line has remained effectively frozen and efforts to find a diplomatic solution have reached a standstill.

Yet this is far from being the whole story. While the military aspects of the conflict have dominated the headlines, the real battle for Ukraine’s future has always been elsewhere.

It rests on the ability of the country to restore stability and prosperity even as its territorial integrity is being brutally compromised. On this measure, Ukraine is beginning to make real progress.

Russia’s intervention was primarily conceived as a form of economic warfare. The aim was not to capture land but to weaken Ukraine and turn it into something akin to a failed state.

In this it was initially successful. At war with it largest trading partner and separated from many of its most productive industrial assets in the east, Ukraine was forced to the brink of economic collapse.

The hryvnia lost about 70 per cent of its value against the dollar, inflation spiked at 60 per cent and the combined fiscal deficit (including the state budget and the state energy company, Naftogaz) ballooned to more than 10 per cent of GDP. The economy contracted by 6.6 per cent in 2014 and a further 9.8 per cent in 2015, a more severe downturn than the one experienced by Greece.

Things look very different three years on. Macroeconomic stability has been restored and Ukraine appears to be on the road to recovery. A more stable exchange rate has helped to bring inflation under control (down to 12.4 per cent last year and a projected 6 per cent next year).

Output is now increasing for the first time since 2012, with growth of 2 per cent last year expected to rise to 2.8 per cent this year and more than 3 per cent in 2018. Renewed growth and lower inflation has, in turn, allowed battered living standards to start recovering. Real wages increased by 11.6 per cent in 2016.

The Ukrainian government has also set out a path to long-term fiscal sustainability through a mix of spending cuts and tax reform. A budget deficit of 2.2 per cent last year was comfortably beneath the 3.7 per cent ceiling set by the IMF.

Although the deficit is due to widen to 3.1 per cent this year, the increase is largely because of cuts in payroll social security taxes needed to reduce labour costs and stimulate the economy.

An improved and simplified tax code, along with the rise in economic activity, is increasing the contributions of income tax and VAT to national revenues. Naftogaz is now in surplus.........................
