ASSESSMENT OF THE REGION'S INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT AND POLICY INSTRUMENTS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ITS INVESTMENT POTENTIAL IN WARTIME by Ruslan Boiko, Roman Martsenyuk, Arsen Protsykevych

“…At the same time, the following shortcomings and weaknesses remain in the region's investment development: the presence of systemic deficiencies in the region's investment climate; small volumes of investment (per unit of resources) and limited rates of their increase; low investment activity in the real sector of the economy with high added value; low investment in intangible assets in industries that form human and innovative potential; critically low volumes of foreign investment, especially direct investment; limited public, intermunicipal and cross-border investment; underdeveloped system of risk financing of investment in innovation; underdeveloped stock market and small role of bank lending. It is substantiated that effective instruments of regional investment policy in the context of critical instability are: military risk insurance and diversification; use of concession agreements; private and public investments in the defence industry and critical infrastructure industries/sectors (energy, transport and logistics, medicine and pharmaceuticals, natural resources); support for innovative and technological startups in the areas of security, the real economy and infrastructure; stimulation of investments in human resources; support for investments in business projects of demobilised persons, war veterans and other combatants; encouragement of investments in the development of export potential to maintain the country's financial security.…”
