Cabinet of Ministers has decided to extend restrictions on the export of certain goods until 2025

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has decided to extend restrictions on the export of certain goods until 2025. This applies to such strategically important products as natural gas, gold, silver, as well as edible salt. This was reported on the government portal, noting that these measures are aimed at ensuring stability in the domestic market.

According to Taras Kachka, Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine and Trade Representative of Ukraine, the introduction of annual licenses and export quotas helps prevent a possible shortage of important goods in the domestic market of the country. One example is the shortage of edible salt that remains after the occupation of Soledar by Russian troops. In order to stabilize the situation, the government has continued licensing and quotas for salt exports. Such restrictions will be lifted only after the domestic market becomes saturated.

In addition to salt, the Cabinet also decided to continue licensing and quotas for the export of the following goods:

- gold, silver and scrap precious metals;

- coking coal (grade "K");

- fuel oil;

- natural gas of Ukrainian origin.

According to government officials, these measures should ensure the necessary balance in the domestic market, especially in conditions of economic instability and global challenges. Export licensing allows you to maintain control over these important resources and ensure their sufficient volume for domestic consumption.

In addition, the government has also introduced licensing and quotas for the import of certain goods, in particular ozone-depleting substances and fluorinated greenhouse gases, as well as equipment and goods that may contain these hazardous substances. These measures are aimed at strengthening environmental control and responsibility for the import of such environmentally harmful goods.

In general, the introduction of quotas and licenses for exports and imports is an important part of the state economic strategy, which is aimed at stabilizing the domestic market, supporting national producers, and protecting national interests.
