Purpose. To conduct a comprehensive analysis of the results of the influence of business activities on investment attractiveness and innovative development in the country. Methodology. The methods include a theoretical review and content analysis of business environment indicators, construction of a multifactor regression model of investment intensity as a function of value added, income, own investments and profit of enterprises based on data from 2014–2024, and verification of the reliability (R2) of trend-extrapolation forecasts. Findings. The comprehensive analysis confirms the importance of the business sector for the country’s investment attractiveness and innovative development. The developed model explains 99 % of the variation in the investment development indicator, noting the dominant role of business reinvestment in determining the share of investment in GDP. The investment-to-GDP ratio fell to 5.3 % in 2022 and partially recovered to 6.98 % in 2024. In the absence of significant policy measures, baseline forecasts indicate a decline to 5.8 % in 2025 and 4.9 % in 2026. The Investment Attractiveness Index in Ukraine has improved but remains below neutral, and business expectations for 2024 remain subdued. Originality. An integrated model is proposed that quantitatively links business activity indicators with the investment intensity of the economy and empirically confirms the dominant role of reinvestment in capital formation. Regression analysis is combined with business activity indicators and sectoral indicators, which allows for a deeper assessment of the relationships between business behavior, investment flows, and innovative development. Practical value. The recommendations developed in the article are aimed at business managers regarding long-term capital investment planning, development of reinvestment policies, and partnerships with universities and donor institutions. The implementation of these approaches will increase the investment and innovation potential of enterprises, contribute to the restoration of the national economy, and strengthen the resilience of the business environment in the post-war period.

The purpose of scientific research is to clarify the essence of two definitions: "Innovative potential of the enterprise" and "sustainable development of the enterprise", and identification of directions of increasing the innovative potential of an industrial enterprise, which would contribute to ensuring the sustainable development of the enterprise. The article examines the essence of the term "sustainable development", which is a combined system of management of the organization, which is a balanced, harmonious and long -term development of the organization, whose activity is aimed at ensuring a holistic equilibrium, taking into account the variable external conditions of functioning and achieving sustainable effective results of the enterprise. Types of stability at the macro level (sustainable development of the planet, humanity, all spheres of life), mesor (sustainable development of the country or a certain industry) and micro level (sustained development of the individual, enterprise, region, region) are clarified. Approaches to determining the sustainable development of the enterprise, in particular, pragmatic approach, structural and systematic approach, financialoriented approach, threefold approach are determined. The pragmatic approach is to distinguish organizational stability, market stability and production stability. The structural-systematic approach examines the stability of the enterprise on the macro, meso- and micro levels. The financial-oriented approach involves understanding the stability in terms of finance, that is, the development of an enterprise is considered as an opportunity to achieve indicators of financial stability. The triune approach is based on the concept of sustainable development, according to which the stability of the enterprise is ensured by combining economic, environmental and social components. The main characteristics of the sustainable development of a modern industrial enterprise in the context of the concept of sustainable development are outlined. The essence of the innovative potential of an industrial enterprise in accordance with domestic legislation is clarified. Innovation potential is found to be a collection of scientific, technological, financial, economic, production-social and cultural and educational capabilities of the country (industry, region, enterprise, etc.) necessary to ensure innovative development of the economy. The structure of the innovative potential of an industrial enterprise, which is represented by three components: resource, internal and effective, is determined. The directions of activation of the innovative potential of an industrial enterprise are outlined. The conceptual model of the study of the relationship and the impact of innovative potential on the sustainable development of an industrial enterprise is proposed.

The article is aimed at reviewing and clarifying the theoretical and methodological aspects of forming the concept of "innovation potential of enterprise". To assess the state of development of the innovative potential of Ukrainian enterprises in the context of digital transformation. To substantiate the feasibility of using a digital transformation strategy to achieve the set goals in the current competitive environment. The level of development of the innovation potential of Ukrainian enterprises was measured over a number of years (2010-2021). Methodology. The article uses economic and abstract and logical research methods in combination with methods of analysis, synthesis and graphical representation. This made it possible to assess the level of development of the innovative potential of Ukrainian enterprises according to the main international rating and macroeconomic indicators. Results. The results of the assessment of the development of Ukraine's innovation potential revealed that the cost of implementing innovative developments in the country's GDP is decreasing every year. It was found that Ukrainian enterprises are slowly diversifying their production towards knowledge-intensive goods and services. This slow state of innovation is reflected in global indices, where Ukraine ranks among lower-middle-income countries. The main reason for this situation is the limited state policy in the field of innovation. It is established that at the state level, the development of innovation potential in the context of digital transformations is formed within the framework of scientific research and high-tech start-ups. Practical implications. In order to increase the innovation activity of enterprises and grow their innovation potential, it is advisable to change the values and guidelines of strategic management. In these conditions, the digital transformation strategy, which is considered as part of the overall communication strategy of the enterprise, becomes relevant for application. In the course of implementing the digital transformation strategy, effective communication interaction between the enterprise and its customers is ensured, and a qualitatively new model of communication processes management is formed and applied, taking into account digital technologies. Value/originality. Research on the development of innovation potential in Ukraine proves the need to use a digital transformation strategy as an effective modern tool for managing an enterprise in the context of digital transformation.

The significance and role of the basic conditions for the economic miracle of China and the forma-tion of China as a world hegemon and leader are characterized. Answers are given to directly posed questions of how and why China has obtained not only positive, but phenomenal development results in such a short time. How China managed to virtually eradicate poverty and feed its 1.5 billion people. Initially, the strategic goals, model and mechanisms for achieving the economic development of the leading countries of the world by attracting their capital and technology were correctly set. Economic modernization contained the export orientation of the economy, the attraction of foreign investment and technology, a high share of investment in GDP, and the active participation of the state in the develop-ment of the economy. The direct leadership of the modernization of the economy was carried out by the Communist Party of China. The conditions that determined the success of the developed economic model of modernization include effective factors: a huge labor market, imports of ethnic Chinese foreign capital. Drivers of growth and experimental platforms for market reforms were special economic zones opened under the developed Program. The visible success of special economic zones led to the creation of a network of territories “Zones of Economic and Technological Development”. The privatization of state-owned enterprises has Chinese specifics: Chinese privatization does not mean the state’s with-drawal from economic activity. In all strategic areas of China, the monopoly of state-owned enterprises has been preserved. The engine of growth is large (including those occupying a monopoly position) state-owned corporations seeking to invest their profits in new projects. China in the 21st century is transforming the economy into a new technological and innovative level.

Introduction. In the process of introducing models of strategic management of innovation and investment potential of agricultural enterprises, it is necessary to analyze the influence of external factors and internal capabilities of the enterprise. This helps to identify the most favorable directions of innovative development of the agricultural entity. The purpose of scientific research is to develop theoretical aspects of the innovative potential for-mation of agricultural business entities in the system of their investment activity. Results. It is established that the use of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of innovative capabilities of agricultural sector subjects without defined criteria hinders the organizational and economic mechanism of choosing innovative investment models and strategies. It has been determined that the dy-namics of investment provision is a basic parameter of reproduction processes. The tasks of investments are highlighted, the fulfillment of which is provided by the reproductive function. The lack of innovative potential of the majority of domestic agricultural enterprises is revealed. It is established that the innova-tive potential of the enterprise characterizes its investment attractiveness. The expediency of considering innovative potential in the system of other types of enterprise potentials is substantiated. It is determined that the research of innovative potential should take into account possible investment cycles in the enter-prise activity. The main factors of investment potential development of economic entities are given. The investment environment is characterized as the volume and structure of mobilized and used potential or real investment funds from internal and external sources of formation. The main task of investment poten-tial accumulation in enterprises is determined. The criteria are characterized, on which the formation of investment potential will depend. The conditions are identified that contribute to the growth of innovation potential. The features of investments implementation into innovations are characterized. The main tasks of monitoring of innovative potential are defined. The state of the organizational component of investment potential at modern domestic agricultural enterprises has been analyzed. Conclusions. The innovative potential development of domestic enterprises of the agricultural sec-tor is the key to their successful activity. Managing the investment potential formation is a key task for the strategic development of agricultural entities. Keywords: economic potential, innovation potential, investment, agricultural enterprise, invest-ment attractiveness, investment cycle.

Abstract. The article describes the dynamics of Ukraine’s position in the Global Innovation Index for 2015—2019. It is revealed that the domestic economy has a high educational and scientific potential, is able to produce various innovations in the form of ideas, scientific developments, patents; the bottlenecks of Ukraine in the state of innovative development are the state of cluster development, the share of foreign direct investment in GDP, the online service of the government, the use of information and communication technologies, the availability of joint agreements on strategic alliances, the state of domestic lending to the private sector, the export of goods of the creative economy, the volume of microfinance loans, the presence of firms offering formal training, the state of cooperation between universities and production, agreements with venture capital. It is proved that the problem of improving the financial mechanism for ensuring innovation processes in the economic system of Ukraine requires a priority solution. Developments on increasing the innovative component of increasing Ukraine’s international competitiveness are impossible without adequate financial support. The article examines the foreign experience of state support for innovation activities. It is revealed that in developed countries — the world’s leading innovation leaders, public policy provides for direct funding of scientific research and through tax measures encourages private sector R&D spending. The concept of financial support for increasing the innovative component of Ukraine’s international competitiveness, which should be implemented at the strategic, tactical and operational levels, is proposed. To ensure a sustainable level of international competitiveness of the country through increasing the innovation component, it is important to implement a system of measures to monitor threats even at the stage of their origin and prevent the spread of their negative impact. Therefore, the methods and tools for implementing the proposed concept contain components of threat prevention: economic (tax incentives; transfers ;direct budget investments; grants; concessional lending; cooperation with foreign institutions, etc.), organizational (development of innovative infrastructure; consulting assistance; personnel support; creation of clusters using the potential of education, business, government, public; creation of regional clusters with innovation and industry production, etc.), institutional (techno parks, business incubators, analytical centres, etc.), regulatory (strategies, concepts, plans, programs) and social levers (conducting business trainings, implementing joint social projects, etc.). Keywords: innovation, Global Innovation Index, financial support for innovative development, international competitiveness, cluster.

For Ukraine, the investment climate is one of the main factors in ensuring its stable development, which means that all economic activities in the country are on a sustainable socio-economic development path. The investment climate is an important and determining factor in the decision of foreign or domestic investors to invest. It is a combination of investment attractiveness factors and investment risk factors. The article provides a detailed analysis of Ukraine's investment attractiveness for foreign investors. The problematic aspects of legislative and managerial nature in attracting foreign investment are highlighted. The real state of investment attraction in 2019–2022 is reflected. The index of investment attractiveness for 2019–2023 is investigated. The dynamics and structure of foreign direct investment in the economy of Ukraine by types of economic activity for 2019–2022 are presented. Foreign investment is undoubtedly one of the leading drivers of economic growth for many countries, including Ukraine. Foreign investment can increase competition in the market by investing in lagging enterprises, improve the welfare of citizens, and strengthen the competitiveness of recipient enterprises on the global stage. Studies have shown that the net inflow of foreign direct investment significantly exceeds the net outflow. Although the investment attractiveness index is still low, the number of top managers who believe that new investments in Ukraine will be profitable has almost doubled. The government continues to develop legislation to capitalize on this potential with numerous draft laws on corporate governance and other economic reforms aimed at bringing Ukraine in line with EU standards and regulations currently being advanced. In Ukraine, the most attractive sectors of the economy for foreign investors are financial and insurance activities, trade, and information and communications. Ukraine's increasing movement toward integration with the EU opens up potential opportunities for investors seeking access to the EU market. The support from the European community and the United States is significant. After Ukraine's victory, the investment attractiveness of our country will certainly increase.

This study is aimed at studying the main factors that determine the process of accelerating economic growth in countries located in East Asia, the Middle East and North Africa between 1996 and 2019. The sample of countries included: Algeria; Bahrain; China; Egypt, Arab Republic; Hong Kong; Indonesia; Iraq; Japan; Jordan; Korea, Republic of; Kuwait; Malaysia; Mauritania; Morocco; Philippines; Qatar; Saudi Arabia; Singapore; Sudan; Thailand; Tunisia; United Arab Emirates; Yemen. The research is based on the methodology of Haussmann, Pritchett and Rodrik (2005), according to which 3 criteria of accelerated economic growth are used: 1) to characterize the process of acceleration itself growth of GDP per capita by 2%; 2) to characterize cases of rapid growth – annual growth rates for eight years are more than 3.5%; 3) to characterize the achievement of sustainable acceleration GDP per capita is greater than the highest level after the onset of the acceleration phase. As the main determinants of accelerated economic growth, the characteristics of institutional quality (the rule of law, control of corruption and the quality of regulation), factors of accumulation (the share of gross accumulation of fixed capital in GDP and characteristics of human capital through the measurement of the duration of education and the profitability of education), the openness of trade ( share of trade to GDP) and natural resources (share of revenues from natural resources to GDP). The research was carried out using Probit, Logit and Tobit models. Logit and Probit modeling made it possible to assess the impact on the acceleration of economic growth: changes in human capital as insignificantly positive; trade openness – as a minor positive, changes in natural resources as a significant positive, increase in the share of investment in GDP – as the largest positive. An increase in institutional quality does not lead to an increase in the chances of the studied countries (the rule of law index has a slight positive effect, the corruption control index has a slight negative effect, the only positive effect that deserves attention concerns the regulation quality index). The results of Tobit modeling demonstrate a statistically significant positive impact of institutional quality, regulatory quality, rule of law, investment and natural resources on the acceleration of economic growth. Thus, the acceleration of economic growth observed in the countries of East Asia, the Middle East and North Africa is a direct result of successful policies aimed at improving institutional quality, promoting investment and harnessing the positive impact of natural resources.

The article summarizes the existing methodological approaches to assessing the level of investment attractiveness of industrial enterprises. The main methodological approaches to assessing the state of investment attractiveness management are studied. It was found that the most used methods of assessing investment attractiveness are: the method of expert assessments; rating method; integrated assessment of investment attractiveness; method of comparisons; matrix method; profitability triangle; differentiated approach; methods that are based on the use of artificial intelligence. The advantages and disadvantages of each of the methods are analyzed. The matrix approach to the assessment of the level of investment attractiveness of the researched enterprise has been further developed. Given the current state of domestic industrial enterprises, in the matrix method of assessing investment attractiveness in the matrix of quantitative indicators (liquidity, financial stability, return on capital, property indicators) indicators of business activity are replaced by indicators of bankruptcy probability. This is due to the fact that both indicators of business activity and profitability indicators characterize the efficiency of the enterprise. The absence of signs of bankruptcy will allow the investor to better assess the investment attractiveness of the enterprise. Indicators that should be included in the matrix include depreciation rate, renewal rate, asset mobility ratio, coverage ratio, quick liquidity ratio, absolute liquidity ratio, autonomy ratio, equity maneuverability ratio, financial risk ratio; return on assets; return on equity; profitability ratio of operating activities; beaver ratio, financial leverage ratio, asset coverage ratio with net working capital.

The role of banks in implementing Ukraine’s investment strategy
  • Jan 1, 2025
  • Economic sustainability and business practices
  • Alla Kasych + 2 more

The post-war recovery of Ukraine will depend on the content of the investment strategy, an essential condition for the implementation of which is the active involvement of banks in these processes. As an important element of the economic system, the banking system has a significant impact on the processes of reproduction and growth, providing credit to the real sector of the economy. Investment lending is one of banks’ most important functions; however, even before the war, the banking system did not have sufficient financial resources for this. The ability of banks to direct resources to investments depends on the action of many factors and requires an appropriate level of development stability. The process of banks attracting financial resources is complex, as is their further use. Investments are not a priority for banks, but they are of strategic importance for the development of the economy. The authors consider the banking system’s stability as their ability to form and effectively use financial resources, and from the standpoint of the post-war recovery of Ukraine, the stability of banks acquires special importance as a condition for the implementation of the investment strategy. In the course of analyzing the impact of banks on the investment strategy, indicators that characterize investment processes were investigated, in particular the amount of investment, the share of investment in GDP; indicators that reveal trends in the development of the banking system (number of banks, size of their assets, size of loans and structure of the loan portfolio). The war significantly affected both the activities of banks and investment processes. The level of investment activity in Ukraine was and remains low, but it critically does not meet the needs of recovery and economic growth. The number of banks decreased during the war years, the loan portfolio decreased, and the resource base decreased, but in general, the banking system ensured the stabilization of macroeconomic processes. Thus, in Ukraine, the banking system has a low level of involvement in investment financing. Changing the situation depends on increasing the level of stability of the banking system and a clear justification of the content of the investment strategy. Among the priority areas for implementing the investment strategy, which will depend on the state of the banking system, are the restoration of infrastructure, modernization, and innovation of the economy – these are the areas that will require the involvement of powerful credit resources.

The Effects of the Financial System and Financial Crises on Global Growth and the Environment
  • Jan 1, 2015
  • Annela Anger + 1 more

The paper considers the links between financial system, economic growth and environmental pollution and damages through: (1) investment in the real economy; and (2) financial instruments for environmental policy. The literature on the effect of finance on pollution is dominated by econometric studies of the effect of financial variables on the Environmental Kuznets Curve. The paper reviews this literature and finds that financial development in general, apart from financial crises, tends to reduce pollution. The paper will explain how financial crises affect the environment through reductions in effective demand, by forcing a switch to earlier technologies, and by encouraging the use of lower-cost, more polluting fuels. The paper explores the causative links between the nature of the recession and the reduction in long-term GDP growth via reductions in the share of investment in GDP. This is followed by an exploration of the necessity of investment and green banking in encouraging environmentally friendly development pathways. It will discuss the problems in modelling the effects of the financial system on the real economy, especially in respect of long-term growth and environmental pollution, with a focus on climate change and the mitigation of climate change.

Can Consumption Growth in China Keep Up as Investment Slows?
  • Jun 13, 2019
  • Comparative Economic Studies
  • Mali Chivakul + 1 more

China’s exceptionally large share of investment in GDP has been widely noted. Rebalancing away from investment to consumption has been on China’s agenda to realize more sustainable growth. As investment growth slows, the question is whether consumption could replace investment as a growth engine. This paper empirically explores the drivers of Chinese household consumption and specifically tests whether investment has affected household consumption beyond the standard income channel. Our empirical results using both national- and provincial-level data suggest that investment has had a significant impact on household consumption beyond the household income channel. The effects are particularly strong in the post-Global Financial Crisis period, suggesting that the Chinese government’s stimulus measures, which aimed mostly at investment spending, have significantly affected households’ decision to consume both through households’ current and expected future income channel.
