Ukraine
OECD's 2001 review of investment policy in the Ukraine. It builds on the 1993 OECD Investment Guide for Ukraine and is primarily intended to further advance the policy dialogue and co-operation between the OECD and Ukrainian decision-makers on investment issues. It is part of OECD’s efforts to help drive the much needed policy reforms in Ukraine. The review attempts to assess the implementation of the legal rules, with an emphasis on their practical enforcement, and identifies gaps in legislation and institutional frameworks, distilling an array of policy recommendations.
In addition to the legal and institutional setting specifically dealing with foreign investment issues, the review encompasses salient features of the overall business regime in Ukraine, such as legislation ensuring the rule of law, contract and property protection, corporate legislation, secured lending and financial sector legislation, taxation, public governance, including privatisation, competition and anti-corruption measures.
Cet examen de la politique de l'Ukraine en matière d'investissement s'inscrit dans le prolongement du Guide de l'investissement en Ukraine publié par l'OCDE en 1993. Il a pour principal objectif de faire progresser le dialogue sur les politiques à suivre et la coopération entre l'OCDE et les décideurs ukrainiens sur des questions d'investissement. C'est là un domaine dans lequel l’OCDE s’efforce de stimuler des réformes dont l'Ukraine a grand besoin. L'examen tente d'évaluer le degré de mise en oeuvre des règles juridiques, en mettant l'accent sur les moyens d'en assurer le respect dans la pratique. Il identifie les lacunes du cadre juridique et institutionnel et formule une série de recommandations à l’intention des autorités. Outre la description du cadre juridique et institutionnel ayant spécifiquement trait à l'investissement étranger, l'examen couvre les principales caractéristiques du régime des activités d’entreprise en Ukraine : la législation garantissant le respect du droit et des contrats et la protection de la propriété, le droit des sociétés, les garanties de crédit et la législation applicable au secteur financier, la fiscalité, la gestion des affaires publiques, les opérations de privatisation, la concurrence et la lutte contre la corruption. Cette étude s’inscrit dans le cadre des relations de coopération que l’OCDE entretient avec les économies non-membres de diverses régions du monde.
This progress report builds on the results of the inaugural meeting of the OECD-Ukraine Forum on Investment and Enterprise Development, held in Kiev on 21-22 February 2002. It comprises the report prepared by the Ukrainian Government, the OECD assessment, the business perspectives, and presentations by national and international practitioners and experts. A broad set of issues are addressed, ranging from the general economic situation to achievements and difficulties in the fields of taxation, privatisation, financial sector and banking. The report also reflects the discussion on further steps in OECD-Ukraine co-operation, and outlines the activities of other international organisations and bilateral donors in support of the reform process.
The progress report provides a record of the reforms under way and the ongoing debate on the reform process in Ukraine -- a country with strong economic potential but which has yet to be perceived as an attractive destination for foreign direct investment.
The timing of the launch of this new OECD annual publication, International Investment Perspectives, is no coincidence: the Doha Development Agenda, the Monterrey Consensus, the New Partnership for Africa’s Development, the 2002 OECD Ministerial Meeting and the Johannesburg World Summit have all underscored the importance of international investment in achieving sustainable development goals and ensuring that globalisation works for all countries, poor as well as rich. In addition, the unprecedented volume of international investment flows, not least foreign direct investment, over the last decade has acted as a major catalyst for trade integration, the diffusion of innovation and world economic growth.
This volume contains includes an analysis of trends and recent developments, an article on foreign investment in China's regional development, a case study on multinational enterprises and the quality of public governance, an article on successful capital movements liberalisation, an article on the economics of international investment incentives, news items on Doha and investment, and an appendix outlining forty years of OECD co-operation with international investment instruments
In the following assessment of the major forces driving agricultural policy and trade in Ukraine in the coming years, we begin with a brief assessment of Ukraine’s comparative advantage in agriculture. This is followed by a discussion of the main macroeconomic, sector- and product-specific factors that will influence Ukraine’s future agricultural trade and development. We close with some simple projections of Ukraine’s future production and trade in grains.

This study provides a review of the food and agricultural sector in Ukraine. It assesses the current status of the food and agricultural sector with special reference to the agricultural policy regime and the form and level of government support to the sector. The paper reviews the sector’s readiness to compete on open global markets for food and agricultural products. Given the importance and sensitivity of the food and agriculture sector in the country, the report highlights a number of critical issues for the Ukrainian government to address. The report goes beyond the narrower focus of the agricultural policies and reviews the status of current rural physical and social infrastructure and issues of rural poverty.
The Executive Summary highlights policy recommendations for Ukrainian policymakers, while the individual chapters provide technical analysis on key policy issues.
This book presents the outcomes of a review of legal and institutional frameworks for fighting corruption in Ukraine, which was carried out in the framework of the Anti-Corruption Network for Transition Economies based at the OECD.

This publication contains the recommendations as well as the full text of the self-assessment report provided by the government of Ukraine.
