Fedorov H. Mechanisms for State Regulation of attracting foreign investments

The thesis considers the essence, meaning and content of investment activity. The main components of the mechanism for the state regulation of attracting foreign investment have been explored. A classification of the means, forms, tools and methods of the mechanism for the state regulation of attracting foreign investments has been created. The current trends are researched, and analysis of the problem issues of the state policy of Ukraine in the sphere of attracting foreign investments is made. The normative and legal provision for the investment activity in Ukraine has been analyzed. The conducted analysis of the normative and legal provision for the state regulation of attracting foreign investments in Ukraine shows that the normative and legal framework that regulates the country's investment processes requires improvement, in particular, as regards its structure and systemic nature. An approach to assessment of the quality of attracting foreign investments at the level of administrative territorial entities in Ukraine has been proposed. Its application in relation to the established criteria should help detect the investors who threaten the economy of our state, as well as identify those who contribute to the satisfaction of territorial interests. Thus, at the initial stages, the application of the said approach should assist with keeping unfair investors out of our country's economy. It has been proved that the structure of the comprehensive mechanism for the state regulation of attracting foreign investments comprises such mechanisms as: an organizational and economic mechanism; a mechanism for the state regulation of investment attractiveness; and a legal mechanism for the state regulation of attracting foreign investments. The operation of the comprehensive mechanism is to provide the capacity of balancing the profit margin, guaranties and incentives for attracting foreign investments in the course of expert potential development and privatization, and to balance the level of risk.
