1. Read and translate the text: Foreign investment in Ukraine
At present, Eastern Europe countries are one of the most attractive direct and portfolio investment destinations with exciting opportunities for business development and expansion. Among these countries Ukraine for sure is one of the leaders due to a number of reasons:
- Ukrainian soil is the richest in the world (great opportunities for agricultural business); - Ukraine has very tender and agro-friendly climate (no tornado, tsunami, deserts, dangerous insects, natural disasters);
- Ukrainian workers are skilled and lower-paid comparing to highly developed countries; - Ukrainian market is huge – around 50 million consumers;
- Ukraine has extensive well-developed infrastructure (transportation, communication, hotels, etc);
- Ukraine is a net exporter of electricity (entrepreneur may save a lot on electricity though); - Ukraine enjoys great discount on gas from Russia (gas price in Ukraine is much lower than in the EU);
- Ukraine enjoys very favourable location (between Europe and Asia, North and South Europe) and geographical proximity to the EU market;
- Ukrainian income and corporate taxes are the lowest in Europe (you can also switch to flat tax);
- Ukrainian environmental protection laws are very liberal comparing to highly developed countries;
- Ukrainian economy is steadily growing up to 6% from year-to-year; Ukraine joined the WTO at the beginning of 2008. When President Yushchenko took office in January 2005, he made improving the investment climate one of his top economic policy goals. This led to a number of new government initiatives, such as creation a State agency for investment and innovation and a number of investor councils chaired by the President. Over the past few years, Ukraine has liberalized its markets, reduced regulation, eliminated most licensing requirements, eliminated most restrictions on foreign exchange and begun the transformation of the agricultural sector from state-run farms to private agriculture. After years of hyperinflation and plummeting currency values, the national currency, the hryvnia, has been stable against the U.S. dollar for over four years.
