What you will learn:
- However, numerous risks – both political and operational – may jeopardise the success of this deal in the medium term.
-
We estimate that the blockade of Ukraine’s ports has reduced the country’s GDP by at least 7.3% compared to pre-war levels.
-
In a downside scenario where the deal collapses or has only a limited effect, grain exports still gradually increase but only to about 2.8mt per month.
