Corruption and distrust of the courts are the top two obstacles to investing in Ukraine, according to a survey conducted by Dragon Capital, the European Business Association, and the Center for Economic Strategy. Tomas Fiala, CEO of Dragon and President of the EBA, said: “For the third year, unfortunately, the first place among the investors’ problems hampering investing in Ukraine is corruption.” Other investor worries, in descending order, are: hryvnia exchange rate instability, and monopolization of power by oligarchs and conflict of interests between politicians and business. In fifth place was the military conflict with Russia.
