DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/12c576/oecd_investment_po) has announced the addition of OECD Publishing's new report "OECD Investment Policy Reviews: Ukraine 2011" to their offering.
The 2011 OECD Investment Policy Review of Ukraine assesses the country's ability to comply with the principles of liberalisation, transparency and nondiscrimination and to bring its investment policy closer to recognised international standards such as the OECD Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises (MNEs). Based on the OECD Policy Framework for Investment, the Review considers the interaction and coherence of investment policy with other areas such as investment facilitation, trade and competition policy as well as responsible business conduct practices critical for enhancing the investment climate.
It also highlights specific challenges faced by Ukraine to attract investment in support of energy efficiency. The Review shows that Ukraine has made progress in developing a legal framework for attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), but implementation problems continue to affect domestic and foreign investors alike and prevent the country from mobilising private investment commensurate with its economic potential and investment needs.
In line with recent world investment trends, Ukraine's FDI inflows declined considerably in 2009 and picked up in 2010 but remain below precrisis levels. Financial services and manufacturing together absorb 62% of the total inward FDI stock. EU27 countries are the main source of Ukraine's FDI, representing over 75% of the total stock. Foreign investors have participated in a number of privatisation deals, in particular in the metallurgical sector in 2005, but the privatisation process has stalled in recent years. The 2010 governmental reform programme stresses the contribution of foreign investment not only as a source of external financing but also as a market transformation and competition-enhancing tool and encourages increased participation of foreign investors in the revamped privatisation process.
This book examines the FDI policies of the Ukraine and the role that FDI plays in its economy.
