Problems and Prospects of Investment Growth of Ukrainian Economy

The article analyses the modern state of the Ukrainian economy, identifies problems of socio-economic development and substantiates prospects of growth of the national economy on the investment basis. The obtained results of the study of the priority and, at the same time, strategically important branches of the national economy allow making the following conclusions. First, the invested capital was poorly directed into priority branches of the economy. Second, the investment flows cover economically developed regions of Ukraine, not paying attention to less developed regions, which need a significant inflow of foreign investments. Analysis of main indicators of investment growth of the domestic economy allows making a conclusion that, despite availability of certain economic and political risks for foreign investors, the share of the foreign capital attracted to the national economy grows. However, it is an unhealthy factor for economic security against the background of negative dynamics of development of the Ukrainian economy.
