10 Economic Outlook

11 New millennium brings rapid growth GDP, real % change Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

12 What’s behind Ukraine’s economic revival? A population that is “getting” what business and market conditions mean A favorable pricing situation in global markets Active privatization Growing prosperity among consumers Financial stability Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

13 External demand drives growth Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

14 Active privatization = Growth in FDI Factors behind FDI growth: Large state-owned enterprises for sale High rates of economic upturn in a relatively stable political and social environment Ukraine’s removal from FATF blacklist of non-cooperating countries EU enlargement and shift of business from new EU member states aimed at minimizing labor costs Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

15 Net foreign direct investment, millions USD Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

16 Consumer Confidence Index hits a new record high Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

17 Nominal exchange rate (UAH/USD) is stable Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

18 Moderate price dynamic is vulnerable Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

19 Consumption is slower than investment Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

20 Construction and export servicing boom Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

21 Pressure is taken off the Government regarding urgent systemic reforms, primarily in infrastructure Additional revenues from economic growth are not being directed towards reforms To reach 1990 levels, Ukraine’s economy will have to grow 10% annually for another seven years—until 2010 The euphoria of success carries risks Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

22 Rapid growth is not reflected in Budget revenues, which are growing much more slowly than the economy There is a widening income gap in Ukrainian society Poverty is very high and the middle class too small—less than 15% of the population Internal demand is weaker than external demand Inadequate reforms = Social problems Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

23 Wages grow, but not their share of GDP Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

25 Political Environment and Reforms

26 A shifting geopolitical situation Despite the fact that Ukraine has declared almost 20 countries as its strategic partners, we consider Russia, the EU, and the USA to be the main foci of Ukrainian foreign policy On one hand, the EU and NATO enlargement to Ukraine’s borders is strengthening the influence of the West and making it imperative for the country to introduce European standards of governance and democracy On the other hand, the result of the March election in Russia has confirmed increased expansionist intentions towards Ukraine, primarily in economy Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

27 Foreign policy priorities Joint projects with Russia: (1) Common Economic Area, (2) Gas Transport Consortium Improving relations with the US and the European Union is motivating Ukraine to carry out domestic economic and democratic reforms The EU considers Ukraine as a ‘new neighbor’—but not a potential member state Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

28 Political competition In November 2002, the formation of a Cabinet of Ministers based on a majority formed in the legislature came to fruition. This improved political competition in Ukraine The failure of Constitutional reform, which would have limited the powers of the next president, was a painful defeat for the ruling coalition, which lost control of the legislature There could be considerable abuse during the presidential election, which threatens to turn into a dirty match Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

29 Political competition and reforms Though Viktor Yushchenko of the Nasha Ukraina bloc is favored to win the presidency in 2004, his main rival, Premier Viktor Yanukovych, is rapidly closing the gap on the tails of rapid economic growth The effectiveness of current policy is dubious: in terms of pushing through tax and pension reforms and resuming large-scale privatization, the Cabinet clearly lacks a consolidated strategy. It is very passive in reforming monopolies and not efficient with price stabilization The opposition operates on the basis of slogans rather than specific programs Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

30 Banking Sector Overview

31 The banking system of Ukraine Two-pillar; National Bank of Ukraine functions as the central bank and the banking sector regulator State banks do not dominate, though Oshchadny Bank, the savings bank, has the privilege of personal deposits state guarantees Low foreign capital participation—12% of charter capital Not well integrated into world banking system, undercapitalized. Assets amount to US $21.2 bn or 36% GDP, but capital totals only US $2.6 bn or 4.3% GDP Highly concentrated—Top 10 banks control more than half of all assets Interested in expanding into insurance and pension markets Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

34 Capitalization goes down Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

35 Greater oversight of banking system Intensified after 1998 financial crisis Major issues: –new IAS-based accounting standards implemented in 1998 –anti-laundering procedures since 2003 –increased minimum charter capital requirements since 2003 –increased reserves coverage for asset transactions, from 61% in 2000 to 96% in 2003 –toughening of liquidity ratios, namely mandatory capital adequacy (not less than 10% since March 2004) –state mortgage register launched in 2004 –special attention to shareholders who own more than 10% of a bank and to insider lending Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel.

39 Minimum charter capital requirement escalation Since 17 January 2003, new licensing principles introduced. Until 2004, the minimum charter capital value had to be at least: –for nationwide Ukrainian banks — €5 million –regional banks — €3 million –cooperative local banks — €1 million Each year, until 2007, requirements must be upgraded. For 2004, the minimum charter capital value should be at least: –for nationwide Ukrainian banks — €5.5 million –regional banks — €3.5 million –cooperative local banks — €1.15 million Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel.

47 Risks and Challenges

48 Sector problems: external factors Low asset diversification (lack of financial instruments, weak non-bank financial sector, restrictions on capital flows) Poor adaptation to international standards, including Basel requirements Absence of full-fledged register of borrowers and property owners Creditors’ rights need strengthening: currently, borrowers have more rights Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

49 Sector problems: internal factors Low level of financial mediation: credits-to-GDP ratio (as well as deposits-to-GDP ratio) is less than 25% Disproportionate rates of growth of personal deposits and loans to individuals, relatively high interest rates on deposits (significantly higher than on government bonds) Balance capital rates of growth are lower than money mass and liabilities Absence of long-term (5+ years) loans, shortage of medium- term (1+ years) loans Large share of bank overheads (often for non-bank activity) Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel. (380-44) 236-4477 Web: www.icps.kiev.ua

50 Challenges Increase capitalization Improve corporate governance, management and internal audit quality Improve NBU banking risk oversight system and outside audit, with more attention to IAS norms Increase transparency of banking operations with more responsibility for disclosure Lobby indispensable legislation to improve both creditor and investor rights Міжнародний центр перспективних досліджень International Centre for Policy Studies Tel.
