Abstract: Major trade-economic indices of post-Soviet countries such as volume (number of concluded regional trade agreements, volume of direct foreign investment), intensity (GDP per capita, unemployment level), dynamics (industry production growth speed, GDP growth speed), structure (GDP structure, employment in economy sectors) have been analyzed in the article. Key trade partners of each country under study have been identified. It’s been established that the major Ukraine partners among integration unions are CIS and the EU. Correlative analysis has been made and forecast estimation concerning the influence of further volume growth of export to the indicated partners on GDP of Ukraine has been provided. It’s been grounded that unlike the world experience where regional trade agreements concluding and their extension lead to growth of international trade volume and improvement of social and economic indices, regional trade agreements concluding within the post-Soviet space is ineffective and hasn’t led to considerable growth of export trade flows of the countries under study.

The aim of the article is to compare key trade-economic indices of post-Soviet countries which allow us to estimate the level of social-economic development and efficiency of integrating processes of each one of them.

In the post-Soviet space there are dynamic integrating processes taking place, particularly, in global and regional plane, which due to intensification of international economic relations must be reflected in growth of social-economic development level of the countries under study and their position on the world arena.
