Abstract

The need to restore Ukraine's economy after the war, rebuild infrastructure and ensure the normal functioning of Ukrainian enterprises requires an increase in domestic and foreign investment. The basis for attracting investment is the creation of a favourable investment climate, increasing investment attractiveness and developing a government investment attraction strategy that would ensure stability and guarantees for investors. The national model of state regulation of investment activity, which is chosen by the country, plays an important role in this.
