Mining and Metallurgical Complex (MMC) of Ukraine ranks second among the CIS countries for the production of ferrous metals. In latest years, the share of Ukraine in the ferrous metallurgy production of the CIS is as follows: 35-39% of the pig iron, 30-34% of steel and 25-28% of rolled steel. In 2010, Ukraine, as other CIS countries, increased the ferrous metals production compared with the crisis 2009 year. Positive changes were taking place in 2011, when Ukraine, like Russia, increased the output of ferrous metals, including iron, steel and rolled products. 2012 and 2013 turned out to be more complicated: Ukraine, which is more dependent on the export of steel products, in 2012 was forced to reduce the production of cast iron, steel and finished steel. At the same time, Russia increased its output of ferrous metals. In 2013 Russia reduced the production of steel and rolled steel, while Ukraine actually retained the release of metal products at the level of the same period of the previous year.
