Abstract
The current trends of the stock market of Ukraine are the main subject of analysis in the article. The author uses various research methods, such as the method of statistical data, the method of system analysis and the method of survey. An in-depth study of statistical data allowed to highlight the volume of exchange-traded securities contracts by trade organizers, using two contexts: by month and by trade organizers. In addition, the peculiarities of trading on the stock market according to the types of financial instruments were considered. The author has identified and investigated the problems of optimal functioning of the domestic stock market. Vectors of attraction of foreign investments into Ukrainian securities were considered, as well as possibilities of formation of attractive investment image of Ukraine, which were also evaluated. It has been proved that there is necessity of forming attractive investment image of Ukraine. However, practical steps in this direction are carried out rather slowly. The main reasons that negatively affect investors' willingness to invest are: large-scale corruption schemes and an inefficient judicial system; unclear, non-transparent and volatile legislation; a significant level of bureaucracy; and abuse of power by law enforcement agencies. Thus, the lack of state institutions and the government's inattention to investors' problems create uncertainty and weaken our position as a reliable business partner. To solve these problems, including problems of corporate governance in joint-stock companies, it is necessary, first of all, to protect the rights of investors. Ways to solve this problem include the following steps: strict compliance with the law for all market participants, regulatory requirements and standards of business ethics equally important for all professional stock market participants; settlement of conflicts of interest, in particular by separating powers at legislative levels; fair competition, including protection of foreign investors from price manipulation in the securities market and use of insider information.
