The epidemic of COVID-19 has affected the economic situation in Ukraine, which has also affected the business activity of international investors, creating an opportunity to apply to international arbitration for compensation. It is important to consolidate all forces during the pandemic, resources from the state and from citizens, entrepreneurs, investors, aimed at quickly overcoming the viral and financial crisis, this is what determines the relevance of this study. Peculiarities of investing in a pandemic are defined in the article, it is realized by analyzing the state of the investment climate, identifying features and trends of investment activity in Ukraine. Determining the directions of increasing the investment attractiveness of the country, identifying ways to intensify the attraction of foreign investment required this. ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT OF NATIONAL ECONOMY Issue IV (80), 2020 23 Thanks to the study of the dynamics and structure of foreign direct investment inflows to Ukraine and capital investments, it was established that the main reasons for the decline in investment inflows are the COVID-19 outbreak. Therefore, there is a need to introduce measures that would minimize the risks of spreading the virus with less economic losses. If government restrictions are not justified, proportionate to the stated goal, or if they are imposed on discriminatory grounds in the absence of transparent communication, it will be difficult for the Ukrainian state to avoid lawsuits from foreign investors. As a result of the formation of effective quarantine measures and their rational implementation, in our opinion, there will be an increase in foreign investment. World experts are working on an alternative to quarantine restrictions that would minimize the risk of spreading the virus with less economic loss. Therefore, the Ukrainian government will be able to use the proposed restrictions and implement them rationally, which will significantly improve the investment climate and reduce the number of lawsuits by foreign investors. Further research is needed to overcome the contradictions between quarantine restrictions and the economic activity of economic entities. Resolving conflicts of the tax burden, making constant payments and shortfall in a pandemic.
