The investment attractiveness index of Ukraine in 2024 has increased to 2.49 points (out of a possible 5), compared to 2.44 points in 2023, indicating an improvement in the country’s investment climate. According to a survey conducted by our partners, the European Business Association, in cooperation with NEQSOL Holding, the number of companies planning to invest in Ukraine has increased to 70%. This is an increase of 13% compared to the previous year.
Among the main factors positively influencing Ukraine’s investment attractiveness, business leaders highlight the country’s candidate status for EU membership, the abolition of tariffs and quotas on Ukrainian exports, and the “visa-free travel” regime with the EU. Significant progress in the digitisation of public services and Ukraine’s integration into the EU’s unified energy system are also helping to boost the country’s investment appeal.
However, negative factors remain, including russia’s military aggression, corruption, a weak judicial system, the informal economy and attacks on the country’s energy infrastructure. In particular, 81% of respondents believe that restrictions on currency transactions have a negative impact on investment.
