Recent Study: Ukraine Freight Transport Report 2015

New Transportation market report from Business Monitor International: "Ukraine Freight Transport Report 2015"

 

Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/22/2015 -- The Ukrainian freight industry is facing headwinds in 2015 as Ukraine's economy is set to remain in a deep recession throughout 2015 as the conflict in the east rages on. Soaring inflation, a crippled banking sector and severely weakened currency will keep the wider economy close to the brink of collapse over the coming quarters.

The disruption to industrial activity in the east - where the bulk of Ukraine's main industrial exports including steel are produced - has led to a decline in exports, posing problems for the freight industry going forward. Capital controls implemented by the authorities in order to cap exchange rate pressure are also hampering currency convertibility and by extension, international trade. Real export volumes fell by 7.4% year-on-year (y-o-y) in Q2 2014, from 2.3% y-o-y in the previous quarter, and we estimate a full year contraction of 15% in 2014, followed by a further 3.0% in 2015, before growing very modestly by 2% in 2016. However, the devaluation of the hryvnia has significantly weakened household purchasing power, leading imports to fall by 11.3% y-o-y in Q2 2014, and helping to offset the drag to headline real GDP from weaker exports.

Inland waterways will see the sharpest decline (13%), while air, road and rail will all see contractions in y-o-y growth in 2015. The Port of Odessa is set for measly annual gains of just 0.01% on 2014.
