Conclusions

➢ Was reform needed? YES!

➢ Was it worth opening the market in July 2019? NOPE!

➢ Is it possible to repair everything that is broken in Ukraine? SURE.

All remedies have long been invented for us.

We need a strategic vision of what the market should be like in the future, political will and coordination of ALL policy makers

16

Recommendations for 2020

➢ Adjustment of household prices to economically justified + reformat thePSO mechanism so it does not distort the market

➢ Balanced access for all buyers and sellers in each segment - a focus onbilateral agreements

➢ Launch of the Ancillary Services market + Increase the number ofparticipants in this segment

➢ The regulator's focus should be on volumes and liquidity - not onattempts to influence prices, but also to ensure data transparency andeffective market monitoring

➢ Revision (or formulation) of the methodology of price caps setting

➢ Ensure effective export-import in Burtshyn trading zone

➢ Reducing the market power of incumbent big players: e.g. market makerobligations, or an option to sell-off assets
