KYIV, Nov 10 – Mistrust in the judiciary system is the biggest hurdle that slows down investment in Ukraine, overtaking corruption, which is the second most frequently named reason, according to a survey of foreign companies in the country.

The survey was released by the European Business Association (EBA), Dragon Capital and the Center for Economic Strategy (CES).

"The lack of trust in judiciary was named the main obstacle to foreign investment for the first time in five years, while widespread corruption, the previous leader, moved to second place,” the EBA said. “The same obstacles were named by both portfolio and direct investors."
