Journal Title: Статистика України - Year 2015, Vol 71, Issue 4
Abstract
The objective of the study is to analyze the peculiar features of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Ukraine, outline the problems related with foreign investing in Ukraine and formulate recommendations on their potential solutions. A statistical analysis of FDI flows to Ukraine, covering 1996–2014, shows that FDI scopes, being quite insignificant over the period under study, featured upward tendency, which, however, changed to negative one at the end of 2014. The analysis of FDI distribution by investing country in 2014 shows that more than 80% of FDI came from 10 biggest investing countries. The analysis of FDI by economic activity in 2014 shows that the major share of FDI was accounted by the three activities: industry (32.3%), excluding the high tech segment, finances and insurance (25.1%), trade (13.1%). Yet, professional, research and technical activities accounted for only 6.2% of FDI, which is less than real estate (8.3%). A detailed review of essential reasons behind the bad investment climate in Ukraine and declining flows of FDI to Ukraine is made; central problems of FDI in the Ukrainian context are highlighted. It is emphasized that FDI flows to Ukraine cannot be intensified and streamlined to the innovation–driven economic development unless the innovation attractiveness of Ukraine is enhanced. A set of priority measures capable to improve the conditions for foreign investment in Ukraine is proposed.
