The approaches to estimating the state of the business environment in Ukraine are analyzed. Indicative features of a number of rating indicators developed by various international organizations are determined.
Foreign investment indicators are suggested to use as the resultant actual indicators of the state of the business environment in Ukraine. The paper concludes that one of the priorities of the State’s foreign economic policy should be to create appropriate conditions for foreign investment in the country’s economy. In general, the global investment movement is not a sustainable process, its dynamic is dependent on many factors. It is important to proceed from the assumption that highquality managerial decisions, as a rule, require high-quality analytical work - primarily about the business environment of the companies (existing and potential). Of particular importance is the quality level of such analysis for the adoption of effective decisions in the field of foreign economic
activity. Therefore, the issue of improving the study of the state of the business environment in one
or another economy becomes relevant in both the theoretical and practical sense. Rating (index)
indicators of business environment assessment in the country occupy a very important place in
analytical management work. They are, in particular, guidelines for foreign investors in assessing
the investment attractiveness of the environment and making managerial decisions.
