Okhrimenko: Western investors prefer Gabon and Somalia Ukraine

Investments are not in a hurry to Ukraine as fast as promised policy on independence, Ukrainian economist believes.

"Yes, and the truth from time to time, foreign investors are interested in assets in Ukraine. Some even come, But not often. Most often have to go to them. Immediately after the Maidan was more, now less, although too willing to talk. But, perhaps I should clarify, and then all these Sarosy, the Rockefellers and our favorite politicians from power all confused here about foreign investors and investments ", - commented Ukrainian economist.

Alexander Okhrimenko believes that Western investors, the rapid flow of which the government promised Poroshenko, are not rushing to invest in the development of Ukraine. Those who actually work in the country, the economist was divided into the following 3 groups: adventurers who want to get everything at once, " the boys in glasses ", which is mostly collect data, and consultants who want to earn in the form of intermediaries." That's all. This all investors who are nevertheless interested in us. For this reason, one may say that we have improved the investment climate or attract investors, " skeptical concludes Okhrimenko.

Ukrainian economist draws attention to the fact that the vast number of investors in the 1-St of all, the opportunity to earn high income from your investments, also in the short term. For a more stable income Western investors invest in less risky economy." Little income and no risk and They in Germany or Poland can get, why would they risk it for Ukraine, " writes Okhrimenko. In Ukraine, investors are interested in high returns and quick payback." They want 20 to 100%, and preferably one year or two at most. If you are not able to offer, They just go to Gabon and Somalia and looking for proposals, " comes to the sad conclusion Alexander Okhrimenko.
