The Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine has opened a case on the fact that ProZorro.Sale state enterprise had established additional terms of the contract and payment for access by operators of authorized electronic platforms to the electronic trading system ProZorro.Sale.
“The case was initiated on the statements of one of the operators, who complained about the unreasonable increase in fees for the development of the electronic trading system and the provision of access to ProZorro.Sale only after additional conditions are met,” the statement on the official website of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine reads.
It is indicated that the state-owned enterprise requires a certain fee for the development of the electronic trading system, however, the AMCU has reason to believe that its size is not economically justified.
The committee also found out that ProZorro.Sale state enterprise provides operators with access to the ProZorro.Sale trading system only if they fulfill additional marketing obligations that do not directly relate to the subject of the access agreement and aim to promote the trading system.
The AMCU noted that back in 2021, the committee began to study the situation on the market for providing services for access of operators of authorized electronic platforms to the electronic trading system, which is used to conduct auctions in normatively defined areas.
As a result of the adoption of control measures, recommendations were provided to ProZorro.Sale aimed at eliminating the above problems. However, the state-owned enterprise has not taken comprehensive steps to prevent possible negative consequences for the competitive environment.
Now, in case of evidence of the negative impact of the actions of ProZorro.Sale on competition in the market, the company may face a fine of up to 10% of income per year preceding the decision on the violation.
The net income of the state enterprise in 2021 increased by 2.7 times, to UAH 141.81 million, and its net profit increased to UAH 42.43 million from UAH 950,000 in 2020.
In the first half of 2022, the revenue of ProZorro.Sale decreased by 36.3%, to UAH 25.14 million, and its net loss amounted to UAH 6.92 million against UAH 550,000 of net profit for the first half of 2021.
The number of active construction sites in Kyiv increased by 17 in August to 173, M4U founder Volodymyr Danilenko told Interfax-Ukraine.
“The number of active construction sites in Kyiv continues to grow. In August, another 17 construction sites resumed work, the total number of active sites reached 173. However, this is still 22% less than before the war,” he said.
According to M4U, most of the new buildings (29 residential complexes) are concentrated in the Goloseevsky district of Kyiv, the second largest is the Pechersky district, where 24 objects are currently being built. The fewest active construction projects are in the Dniprovskyi district – 10.
The average cost per square meter in objects under construction in August amounted to 59,434 UAH. This is 9.1% more than in July and 32.1% more than in February 2022.
As noted in the study, average prices for comfort class (up to UAH 43,472/sq.m.) and elite class (up to UAH 142,071/sq.m.) increased by 7.9%. A square meter in business-class new buildings has risen in price by 6.3% – up to UAH 75,885. The rise in prices in the economy class amounted to only 2.8%, such property in August cost an average of 31,368 UAH per sq. m. m.
“Until February, we observed an increase in prices due to a reduction in supply in the market against the backdrop of stable demand. Now, when demand has decreased by 90%, prices continue to rise due to the shortage of building materials, the increase in their cost, the need to find new suppliers, and also because of the change in the dollar exchange rate, to which the cost of most developers is pegged. This is a completely natural process that will continue over the next months,” Danilenko said.
Traditionally, expensive objects are concentrated in the Pechersky district, where the average cost per square meter in August amounted to 117,889 UAH. The cheapest square meter is in the Darnytskyi district – an average of 33,799 UAH.
