KYIV, July 12 - Ukraine's investment attractiveness index in the first half of 2021 improved to 2.84 points out of the maximum 5 points, compared to 2.4 points in the second half of 2020, when it dropped unprecedentedly to the level of 2013, according to the poll of 91 CEO of companies, conducted as part of a study by the European Business Association (EBA) and Vasil Kisil & Partners law firm.

"So far, the indicator does not reach the neutral scale, that is, up to three points, and is still in the negative plane. But compared to the last half of the year, the index added 0.44 points. This time, the index approached the indicator of the conditions of doing business, which was at the very beginning of the presidential term of Volodymyr Zelensky," EBA Executive Director Anna Derevyanko said, presenting the results of the study.
