Contracts can be attributed to the weakening of currency restrictions on NBU transactional transfers.
The flow of direct foreign investment (PIIs) in Ukraine in 2024 compared to 2023 was reduced by $ 1.16 billion and cost $ 3.33 billion. This was announced by Verkhovna Rada Tax Committee Danilo Getmans with a reference to National Bank data.
In particular, 71.6% from PIA – reinvestment of income received by a foreign investor in Ukraine ($ 2.38 billion). The amount of reinvested income was reduced by 30%.
“The reduction is probably associated with weakening foreign exchange restrictions on NBU transactional transitional transfers, including the removal of dividends that began to act from the second half of last year,” Hetmane suggests.
He added that the amount of debt instruments has also been significantly reduced due to reducing obligations to foreign investors related to business (especially trading loans).
Last year’s accumulated volume was reduced by 0.7% ($ 0.38 billion) to $ 54.57 billion. It was 17% less than last year before a full war (2021-65.75 billion dollars).
“The accumulated PIIs, if we compare them per capita to the Ostrans of Central and Eastern Europe, will and will remain at a very low level. If we take the same Poland, that before the war can be considered +/- comparable to the population, then the volume of $ 335.5 billion (2023), that is, explained by the representative.
Remember that in February the GDP growth rate of Ukraine slowed down – up to 0.7%. This is significantly lower than January (1.5%) and December 2024 (1.7%). The slowdown in economic growth rate has occurred due to the missile of shelling in gas -making facilities and a temporary reduction in export activity.
