"October showed a noticeable revival of trade. Important drivers were the return of the GTS Operator to the medium-term UEEX market for the purchase of imported gas within the framework of the PSO and active sales of resource residues by Ukrnafta and Ukrnaftoburinnia. We continue to focus on the efficiency of trading procedures and transparency of pricing so that the market enters the winter season stably,” said O. Kovalenko, CEO of UEEX.
