Sayenko Kharenko contributes International Trade Expertise to Ukraine’s Export Strategy 2030
Ukraine has unveiled an ambitious export strategy to rebuild and expand its international trade through 2030, with Sayenko Kharenko providing specialised legal expertise to the government initiative.
The Ministry of Economy of Ukraine published the comprehensive Export Strategy 2030 on 6 June 2025, outlining how the war-torn nation plans to diversify its economy and strengthen trade relationships globally. The strategy represents a critical step in Ukraine’s economic recovery and integration with Western markets.
Sayenko Kharenko’s international trade team played an advisory role in developing the strategy, with Partner Angela Makhinova and Associate Oleksandra Sandul contributing expertise in several key areas:
- WTO instruments: Leveraging World Trade Organization mechanisms to accelerate export growth and market access
- Free Trade Agreement Opportunities: Identifying how Ukrainian businesses can maximise benefits from existing and future free trade agreements
- EU regulatory initiatives: Analysis of potential effect of different EU initiatives on the Ukrainian exports;
- Breaking Down Trade Barriers: Developing approaches to overcome regulatory obstacles in international markets
The involvement of private sector legal experts in government strategy development reflects Ukraine’s commitment to creating a business-friendly trade environment. For Sayenko Kharenko, participating in this national initiative provides unique insights into emerging trade opportunities and regulatory changes that will benefit their international clients.
Sayenko Kharenko’s experts worked together with the team of the State Enterprise Ukrpromvneshexpertiza, which played a key role in preparing the draft strategy and the corresponding action plan for the implementation of the Strategy.
The strategy was developed through the German-funded TIPSTER Project, implemented by the Ukrainian Reform Support Foundation as part of the ReACT4UA initiative managed by GIZ (German International Cooperation).
The complete Export Strategy of Ukraine through 2030 is available on the official website of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine.
