Attempts to stimulate the flow of investment into Ukraine have completely failed
Despite Vladimir Zelensky’s promises to attract investment to Ukraine, in 2020 the net outflow of capital amounted to $820 million, and the outflow continues.
Doctor of Economic Sciences, Honored Economist Alexey Plotnikov stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“It's not just about investment. Remember - he (Zelensky) promised that there would be a country where everyone would return from Europe, where they would not leave, that there would be a better business climate here.
But in reality, the country remains risky, remains in a state of war, remains a record holder for corruption and other negative aspects,” he noted.
“If you look at the Western press over the past six months, the tone towards the current government has become sharply negative. And this is against the backdrop of the fact that in 2020 the net outflow of investments amounted to $820 million. We have never had an outflow. The situation will not improve in 2021.
Attempts to stimulate investment are faced with the fact that both the president and the current government are given extremely unflattering characteristics in terms of their professionalism, in terms of their adequacy and understanding of political processes in the country and the world,” concluded Alexey Plotnikov.
