KYIV, Sept 14 – The Big Construction program and plans to increase the share of cement concrete roads in Ukraine give reason to hope for the growth of the cement industry, Director of the Ukrcement cement producers association Roman Skilsky said.

"The main reason for optimism is the Big Construction program... This will mean a noticeable increase in demand for cement, which will allow domestic companies to increase the number of idle reserve capacities," he said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
