Trade between US-Ukraine tops $2 billion over 10 months
Total trade between Ukraine and the United States was worth more than $2 billion in January through October, the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine reported on Wednesday.
Ukraine's exports to the United States totaled $1.378 billion over ten months, whereas the U.S. exports to Ukraine totaled $627 million.
The current tendencies give grounds to expect that trade between the two countries in 2006 could be more than 2.5 times the amount of trade of 2003, according to the statement.
The embassy voiced hope that direct foreign investment in Ukraine from the United States would significantly grow in the view of Ukraine's being very close to joining the WTO. // Interfax Ukraine News
