Report on Ukraine for The Financial Times_August-September 2011 issue_Author ...Nataliya Kozachenko
Ukraine has significant economic potential but has struggled to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) due to instability and poor business environment ratings. While it has natural resources, fertile land, and a skilled workforce, its GDP and FDI per capita are much lower than neighboring countries. To increase FDI, Ukraine needs to improve economic freedom, ease of doing business, competitiveness, and reduce corruption. It also needs a clear investment promotion strategy to change negative investor perceptions and promote stability to keep investors during economic downturns. Key sectors for growth include agriculture, infrastructure, and projects around the upcoming Euro 2012 football tournament.
Russia has experienced steady GDP growth and large foreign direct investment inflows in recent years. Key sectors of the Russian economy include retail, manufacturing, natural resources, and real estate.

The document discusses real estate development opportunities in Russia and other CIS markets. It argues that there are enough projects in the pipeline for continued growth due to factors like economic restructuring, a young real estate market, attractive returns despite yield compression, and government support.
