The State Property Fund failed another attempt to sell the Odesa Portside Chemical Plant, the Verkhovna Rada slowly and unwillingly began to pass bills required for the state budget 2017, Stockholm arbitration has completed its hearings into the gas dispute between Naftogaz and Gazprom, while the National Bank maintained the key rate - these are the main economic news of this week.


This week, as expected, was full of important political and economic news, statements, and forecasts. Several negotiations both in Ukraine and beyond have entered the final stretch. A key political decision was a compromise reached by the E member states on the visa waiver suspension mechanism. 

This week, the mechanism has been developed and submitted for discussion in the EU Council and the European Parliament. The adoption of the document will open an opportunity for the citizens of a European country, Ukraine, to enjoy visa-free travel across the Schengen zone.
