Attracting foreign investment to Ukraine: what hinders it and how to fix it

The issue of attracting foreign investment is one of the key issues for Ukraine's post-war recovery. However, the real state of affairs is significantly different from the optimistic forecasts of international conferences.

Among the main obstacles is the judicial system, which investors themselves call unpredictable, corruption risks at the level of regulatory authorities and the lack of a clear mechanism for property protection.
