Foreign direct #investment (FDI) in #Ukraine's_economy in 2015 amounted to $3.76 billion, a
third of the sum (30.6%) was injected into production facilities and 27.3% into
the finance and insurance sectors, according to the Ukrainian Ministry of
Economic Development and Trade.
The total investment since
Ukraine became independent had stood at $43.37 billion as of December 31, 2015.
"The top ten investor
countries accounting for 83% of total FDIs are Cyprus with $11.7 billion, the
Netherlands with $5.6 billion, Germany with $5.4 billion, Russia with $3.3
billion, Austria with $2.4 billion, the United Kingdom with $1.85 billion, the
Virgin Islands with $1.7 billion, France with $1.5 billion, Switzerland with
$1.3 billion, and Italy with $792 million," the ministry said.
The top ten Ukrainian regions
that received the largest sum of the investment were Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kharkiv,
Kyiv, Luhansk, Lviv, Odesa, Zaporizhia, Poltava, Ivano-Frankivsk regions, and
the city of Kyiv.
The ministry stresses that
such split of the FDIs is not conducive to the even social
and economic development of the regions and widens the gap of their
economy.
At the same time, the ministry
says, Ukraine continues to attract investors and remains enough integrated into
the global economy.
As UNIAN reported earlier, the
total FDIs as of the beginning of 2015 had exceeded $45 billion.
Earlier Economic Development
and Trade Minister Aivaras Abromavicius said that Ukraine planned to attract up
to $5 billion in FDIs in 2016.
