ЕКОНОМІКО-СТАТИСТИЧНИЙ ПІДХІД ДО ПРОЦЕСУ МІЖНАРОДНОГО ІНВЕСТУВАННЯ: РИЗИКИ ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ

Abstract

The fact that Ukraine is involved in the worldwide process of globalization and integration intensifies the attraction of overseas capital, which is an important tool for structural changes in national economies, for replenishing the budgets of countries and ensuring their economic growth. The current economic development of Ukraine is a result of the lack of country’s own financial resources, which confirms the need to create a favourable investment environment and intensify international investment. In view of this, the essence of foreign investment has been considered; the main forms and modern approaches to the classification of foreign investment have been described. It has been highlighted that foreign direct investment is the most effective for further development of the national economy in the context of globalization. The main aspects that make Ukraine’s economy attractive for international investors have been identified. An economic and statistical approach has been used to analyze the volume of foreign direct investment in and from Ukraine and from the country in the dynamics as a whole, as well as in terms of individual countries. The orientation of foreign direct investment in certain types of economic activity has been analyzed; and the priority directions for foreign investment in the national economy have been determined. The transformational changes in the way how domestic statistical information related to foreign direct investment is displayed have been identified. It has been emphasized that currently the only body responsible for disseminating information related to international investment is the National Bank of Ukraine. The factors that affect foreign investment have been specified, as well as investment risks associated with the use of overseas capital in the country. It has been noted that the further implementation of Ukraine’s economic policy in the field of foreign investment is associated with the appropriate regulation of both attraction of investment and its effective use. Prospects for international investment in Ukraine have been highlighted.
