No investment boost for Ukraine despite interest
Citat:
The investments so necessary for the stable growth of the Ukrainian economy leave much to be desired. Investors are in no hurry to enter the Ukrainian market, and it’s not so much because of the situation in the east of the country, but because of corruption, poor business climate, and a slowdown in reform. Experts are convinced that if nothing changes in the near future, no investment growth is to be expected.

According to the latest data of the National Bank, the net inflow of foreign direct investment in 2017 was at $2.3 billion (26% of which account for capitalization). The net inflow of direct investments into the real sector of the economy amounted to $1.7 billion. In 2016, the figure was higher by a third - at $3.3 billion (with capitalization taking up 63%).
Mindre än under 2015/2016 när man hoppades på några förändringar och bara marginellt högre än 2014... Oooops!
Och 2016 var sämre än pre-Majdan.
Varför är inventeringarna är så låga? Ehmmmm..

According to experts, Ukraine, which remains a commodity economy, frightens off investors not so much by the situation in the east of the country, but by a poor business climate, virtual lack of respect for property rights, political instability, and dragging reforms. And most importantly, it’s grave corruption. Western partners, including U.S. and EU officials, are becoming more vocal about this significant factor. Basically, they call corruption in Ukraine a malignant tumor and state the regress in the fight against this shameful phenomenon. The same goes for businesses. According to a survey of top managers of more than 180 domestic and foreign companies carried out by the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine (ACC), the situation with corruption influence on businesses have worsened, which pushes the country back the level of 2014. Among obstacles in the fight against corruption, lack of political will tops the list (63%).
Med andra ord... Same song and dance.

Why Ukraine didn't become investment Mecca?
Citat:
Therefore, no cloning of investment councils and agencies is able to reverse this situation. An economist Anders Aslund recently commented on the ruling Ukrainian leadership: "they are interested in corruption, they live with it," and this, unfortunately, is the truth. Ukraine will have to choose between "interested persons" and potential investments. However, the choice seems to have already been made, and not in favor of the latter.
Och så här tycker USA:s underrättelsetjänster...
