| description | The purpose of the article is to study the prerequisites for the inflow of foreign direct investment in Ukraine and the reasons that slow down this process, in particular in the context of EU integration, as well as to analyze the dynamics of foreign direct investment in Ukraine. The dynamics of foreign direct investment in Ukrainian economy in 2002-2022 were analyzed, with consideration of the reasons for their changes over the study period. Starting from 2013 and until 2016, the volume of investments declined rapidly, which was caused by political instability in the country and a number of other reasons; in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic became a major challenge, which also had its extremely negative consequences for the economies of countries and investors, and in 2022, russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine led to a decrease in foreign direct investment from 6687 million US dollars in 2021 to 190 million US dollars in 2022. One of the main problems of the Ukrainian economy is the low return on investment and its inefficient distribution. An analysis of foreign investment by type of economic activity leads to the conclusion that the largest share of foreign direct investment goes to the developed economic sectors. The main factors that negatively affected the dynamics of foreign direct investment in different periods were investor distrust caused by the high level of corruption in the country, doubts about the fairness of the judicial system, monopolization of markets, and instability of the national currency; russia’s war against Ukraine (since 2014); the COVID-19 pandemic; russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine (since February 2022), which still continues. Ukraine’s European integration processes, along with reforms designed to accelerate these processes, as well as the end of the war in Ukraine, will help attract foreign direct investment aimed at recovering and developing Ukraine. |
