The Cabinet of Ministers made a decision to spread awareness about domestically produced products, approving the free use of the "Made in Ukraine" trademark for enterprises. This initiative is confirmed by Government Resolution No. 197.
The government also approved the image of the trademark "Made in Ukraine" and instructed the Ministry of Economy to submit an application for state registration of this trademark and to develop a technical standard (brand book) based on it.
The resolution recommends the use of the trademark image to all state bodies, local self-government bodies, enterprises and organizations, regardless of the form of ownership, in accordance with the approved technical standard (brand book).
"The use of the image of the trademark, approved by this resolution, by state bodies, local self-government bodies, enterprises, institutions and organizations, regardless of the form of ownership, is carried out free of charge," the document states.
Previously, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi, speaking at the presentation of the "Made in Ukraine" platform, announced the future possibility of Ukrainians receiving partial compensation for the purchase of goods and services manufactured in Ukraine. According to the President, this program is under development and is planned to be launched this year.
The government also announced the launch of the "Made in Ukraine" national platform, adopted a resolution on the promotion of Ukrainian-made goods, and approved the "Made in Ukraine" label. It is expected that these actions will lead to an increase in consumer demand by 0.14% of GDP, the creation of more than 22,000 new jobs and additional revenues to the budget in the amount of UAH 4 billion.
This was announced by the Prime Minister of Ukraine, Denys Shmyhal, during the presentation of the "Made in Ukraine" national platform. Shmyhal emphasized that the recovery and development of entrepreneurship is a priority for the government, and the "Made in Ukraine" program is a new means of interaction between the state and business.
This initiative is aimed at stimulating domestic demand for Ukrainian products and developing national production. It is important to note that this does not limit access to foreign goods, but provides entrepreneurs with incentives to enter domestic and foreign markets. To achieve this goal, the government plans to use various tools to support domestic manufacturers, including expanding the list of goods for public procurement and providing compensation for the purchase of Ukrainian equipment.
