According to the results of 2024, Ukraine overtook russia in trade with Germany for the first time in history. This was stated by the economic advisor of the Embassy of Ukraine in Germany Vitalii Ivashchuk, referring to data from German statistical authorities.
This was reported by Ukrinform.
According to Ivashchuk, trade relations between Ukraine and Germany are rapidly developing not only at the interstate level, but also in the form of interregional and intercity partnerships.
"The embassy, having analyzed the data of German statistics... in 2024, for the first time since 1992, when separate statistics have been kept for Ukraine and russia after the collapse of the USSR, our country overtook the aggressor state as a trade partner of Germany," Ivashchuk said.
Among the most promising areas for cooperation with the Germans, he singled out the restoration of Ukraine. Foreign business is also interested in energy, in particular "green", IT and digitalization.
At the same time, Ivashchuk recalled the creation of a separate ministry in the new German government, which will develop the digitalization track, which can deepen relations between relevant German and Ukrainian departments.
"And, of course, the defense-industrial complex, where close cooperation has already been established and where there are outstanding prospects for development in the coming years," Ivashchuk added.
Currently, among the main goods that Ukraine exports to Germany are food, metals and products from them, machinery, equipment and transport.
