UKRAINE: IN ANTICIPATION OF AN ECONOMIC MIRACLE

Abstract

The article reveals that despite foreign experience in creating an economic breakthrough in a changing environment and the country's existing socio-economic potential for its implementation, Ukraine lags behind almost all world rankings: the state of K-society, human development indices, innovation, network readiness, global competitiveness and etc., and for some of them annually worsens its position. Analysis of world experience shows that market transformations that are not enriched by technological breakthroughs cannot cause an economic miracle. At the same time, every year the statistics confirm that Ukraine belongs to the countries with raw materials specialization, which exports raw materials and imports finished goods. While exporters of finished products invest the added value in new production facilities, Ukraine is modernizing its infrastructure for exporting raw materials. Despite the six global transformations (The Big Data Economy: Hyper-connected Society, The Wellbeing Economy, Low-Carbon Economy, The Circular Economy, The BioGrowth Economy, The Experience Economy), the Ukrainian economy is detached from reality and lives from production to production, from harvest to harvest, and the government neglects the obvious.
