Abstract

The article reasons that foreign direct investments play a crucial role in the economy of every world country, since they ensure the effective functioning of economy and economic growth. It is found that the volume of foreign direct investments into the economy of a certain country depends on the investment climate, whose main indicator is the position of countries in international investment ratings that allows us to evaluate the investment climate, possible investment risks and the degree of investment safety.

The paper presents a list of the main international investment ratings that should be taken into account by potential investors while analyzing the investment climate and investment image of the country and considering the practicality of investing into the economy. The current position and dynamics of Ukraine’s rankings in these ratings are analyzed: according to Global Competitiveness index - 81st position among 137 countries; according to index of Economic Freedom - 150th position among 180 countries; according to Ease of Doing Business index - 76th position among 190 countries; according to Investment Attractiveness index - 134th out of 174 countries.
