Is state support necessary for the GMC of Ukraine?

During the round international table dedicated to the prospects and problems of the Mining and Metallurgical Complex of Ukraine, expert opinions on the need to form state policy for the further development of this industry have been made.

So the representative of the Manganese International Institute, Dorin McGoughh, drew attention to the fact that there are no state support of manufacturers in the European Union, but they can always count on help. In particular, he noted: “If necessary, a special commission is created, which the enterprise should prove that it is really in a difficult situation in connection with the influence of external economic factors. At the same time, the number of jobs that this enterprise provides is taken into account, its contribution to the economy of the region and the country as a whole. If we are talking about a problem with electricity tariffs, then economic analysis will show how much this factor affects the competitiveness of the enterprise. Based on the results of a comprehensive analysis, the commission decides on the advisability of applying special support measures for such an enterprise. ”

Director of the chemical and metallurgical Institute. J. Abisheva (Kazakhstan) Professor Manat Tolymbekov emphasized the significance of state support of his manufacturer on the example of China: “We all know about the economic growth that China demonstrates. But many forget that the main factor in the economic development of this country is state support provided by the internal manufacturer. At the time of the crisis, when Chinese manufacturers began to lose sales markets, the state began to issue loans to local consumers, thus stimulating the domestic demand for Chinese goods. As a result, many Chinese enterprises not only did not reduce the volume of production , but even even They increased him, ”the professor announced.

The General Director of the Topaz LTD scientific and production company Vladimir Shevchenko, a specialist in the construction of new technologies and the mining and metallurgical industry, convincingly proves that the state, at the time of presentation of excessive requirements for metallurgical plants in the field of energy efficiency, at the same time does not allow them to implement the relevant projects. “Today, the state is too voluntarily treating electricity tariffs for metallurgical enterprises. For example, at the Zaporizhzhya Ferroalloy Plant, the situation with an increase in electricity tariffs has already led to a reduction in the labor collective and stopping part of production capacities, ”V.Shevchenko said and added:“ Together
