Abstract

The article is aimed at carrying out an economic-statistical analysis of the dynamics of development of trade enterprises and researching tendencies in this branch of Ukrainian economy at the present stage. It is determined that the growth of actual volumes of the wholesale goods turnover on the average by 20–25% and the retail goods turnover by 5–6% annually proves stabilization of the situation in this area of economic activity of the national economy. It is statistically proved that the main negative tendency of both wholesale and retail trade development in Ukraine is reduction of the share of sale of goods produced in the country. It is determined that the growth of retail trade turnover of trading enterprises takes place against the backdrop of a significant decrease in the number of retail outlets, which is evidence of fierce competition among the aggregate of enterprises of this type of economic activity. It is substantiated that positive tendencies in structure and volumes of activity of trade enterprises have influenced their financial results. Further researches will be directed on deepening of economic-statistical analysis with the purpose of determination of the most weighty factors of influence on dynamics of financial results of activity of trading enterprises in Ukraine.
