Investment climate on the background of the war

The change of power in the country and the establishment of the European exchange rate resulted in only a slight improvement of the investment climate. This is evidenced by the results of the survey, which conducted quarterly by the European Business Association (EBA) among its members. In the current survey - the 24th since the beginning of the global economic crisis - was attended by 103 heads of the company. 

Compared with the last survey recorded little progress - the index of investment attractiveness of the country has increased by 0.02 points and now stands at 2.74 points (on a 5-point scale). 

This result on the EBA methodology can not be called successful - it is significantly worse results of the assessment of the investment climate in 2010, when the business is believed the promises of Viktor Yanukovych to implement economic reforms. However, it is much better than the estimate late last year, when, after the government's refusal to sign an Association Agreement EU business felt cheated (1.81 points). 

At the same time, business is gradually getting rid of the "rose-colored glasses" with respect to the current government. If the results of the first quarter, immediately after the appointment of the new government, the scale of "future investment climate" (waiting for the next three months) were recorded high 3.6 points, now - only 3.2 points.
