Ukrainian economic diplomacy in many ways is not competitive compared to Western because of otsutviya adequate funding. The statement was made by the doctor of economic sciences, professor Alexander Sharov.

According to him, in the world for the maintenance of economic diplomacy are spending an average of 250 thousand dollars per year. At the same time in Ukraine for the maintenance of a staff member trade and economic missions, according to the Chamber, spent about 100 thousand.

That is a minimum (for a diplomat), we give and the fact that it is necessary to work effectively, already seems to be lacking. As a result, saving a couple million, we are losing billions. As reflected in the deficit and our trade balance , - stressed the expert.

Quoting the words of Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States Oleh Shamshur, the scientist said that in the meantime in the United States, despite the crisis, the cost of diplomacy to increase by 25%. The logic is simple: when the situation is complicated at the front, the first thing enhance exploration, - he explained.

Sharov recalled that because of underfunding, the Ukrainian diplomacy in general, and economic in particular, can not attract qualified young people, as well as a high mobility of its staff abroad to provide them the opportunity not only to sit in the capitals and meet a visiting delegation of high, but see the real life of the host country.

For the same reason, the Ukrainian diplomats are unable to establish trust, informal contacts, which require and informal forms of communication, to get greater access to foreign sources of information (even if paid for specialized web sites) and provide the appropriate level of dissemination of (including through the media host), stressed the scientist, adding that suschestuvuyut also significant problems in the use of modern office equipment and communications.

But this is all from our competitors abroad. We must also understand that the opportunity loss of our economic diplomacy is immediately used by the countries that could provide similar products or services: aircraft, rockets, metal, grain, construction work , nanotechnology, - noted scholar.
