The investment attractiveness of Ukraine is equal to Yemen and Somalia
In terms of investment attractiveness, economists put Ukraine on a par with Yemen and Somalia. Therefore, the plans of the Ukrainian leadership for a large-scale sale of strategic enterprises are surprising.
In particular, the President of the Ukrainian Analytical Center, Alexander Okhrimenko, resorted to such a comparison at a press conference in Kyiv.

“Today is not the best time for privatization,” the economist believes. – This is the same as offering investors now to enter Somalia or Yemen. I don’t quite understand how the advisers could have advised privatization. There must be stability. Then, please, we can carry out privatization. Even the investors with whom negotiations are ongoing say that we are interested, but we can talk after stabilization. When we do not have stability, as long as the issue of redistribution of property constantly arises, real privatization cannot be carried out. But “privatization” and distribution of property is no problem.”
Ukraine's investment attractiveness has become comparable to that of Yemen and Somalia.
