ESSENCE AND GOALS OF MODERN IMPORT POLICY OF UKRAINE

The article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the modern import policy of Ukraine, its essence and strategic goals. It examines the key factors that determine the formation of import priorities, as well as the challenges that the country faces in the context of globalization and economic instability. The text emphasizes the need to diversify import sources to reduce dependence on individual countries, as well as the importance of implementing European standards. This will not only improve the quality of imported goods, but will also become the basis for integration with European markets. Prospects for the development of foreign trade, as well as the role of import policy in ensuring the economic security of Ukraine, are studied. The author emphasizes the importance of import policy for stimulating domestic production, as it can serve as a catalyst for the introduction of innovations and technological renewal in Ukrainian companies. This, in turn, will positively affect the competitiveness of the national economy. Based on the analysis, the author concludes that an effective import policy is critically important for the country’s economic growth and stability. The main emphasis should be on diversifying supplies, reducing dependence on specific countries, and strengthening integration processes with European markets. Investments in the development of domestic production, which will contribute to overall economic growth, are also important. Thus, Ukraine’s import policy should become a powerful tool for achieving economic security, sustainable development and improving the overall competitiveness of the country in the face of global challenges. Effective regulation of import policy requires a balanced approach that combines support of the domestic producer and provision of the needs of the domestic market. The saturation of the domestic market with imported goods leads to an increase in the standard of living, as it satisfies the needs and preferences of consumers and improves the quality of life. One of the key tasks of the modern import policy of Ukraine is to ensure a balance between the protection of domestic production and the provision of access to high-quality foreign goods and technologies for the modernization of the national economy.
