Investment climate:
Summary
Ukraine performs rather poorly in attracting
foreign investment, drawing just over $7 billion in
FDI on average annually from 2007 to 2012.
Government official uses lot of malpractices and
are corrupted
Due to poor property right protections, selective
law enforcement and a weak judicial system,
Ukraine is not considered as a very attractive
country to invest in.
