Assessment of the investment attractiveness of Ukraine based on European Business Association gives evidence that investment attractiveness integral index fell by 60 % in the first quarter of 2013 cjmpared to 2011.
Analysis of the foreign direct investments to the economy ofUkraineshows that 2002-2012 investments volume had an arrhythmic character; it is explained by investment activity slowdown caused by world financial economic crisis. Main countries-investors toUkraineareCyprus,Germany,NetherlandsandRussia. It is detected that high level of corruption, complicated tax administration system, absence of Investment Code and territories websites, аs well as business plan creating and supporting specialists lead to the image ofUkrainedeterioration among the potential.
Causes for negative development dynamics, such as overvalued accommodation fees, automobile roads quality, service level and absence of information about tourist places are revealed based on the comparative analysis of tourism industry ofUkraineand other countries.
