The Main Ways
of Stimulating Investment Income
in the National Economy
At the present stage of economic reforms revitalization investment
process - the only way to solve the problems of the structural reorientation of
Ukraine's economy to produce competitive products.
Lack of investments in the economy of Ukraine triggered a search for
different ways to stimulate investment inflows, which are able to provide
appropriate conditions of investment activity. These components of the
mechanism of regulation by the state authorities are:
- tax regulation: the system of taxes and their rates, tax exemptions;
- terms of privatization of state property;
- adjust the terms of the loans;
- antitrust regulation.
Investment climate in Ukraine remains unfavorable.
Reasons preventing to attracting foreign capital into the economy of the
state and basic directions of intensification of this process, examine the
following scientists: A. Amosha, V. Geets, I. Lukinov, E. Blakely, P. Fok, G.
Hammer. Improvement of legislation is one of the main directions of creating an
enabling environment for attracting foreign investment in Ukraine. Legal
uncertainty creates barriers for long-term direct foreign and domestic
investment in strategically important sectors of the economy during the reform
period of property in Ukraine [4, p. 68].
High taxes, lack of of budgetary funds, high interest rates on loans,
low sophistication of the stock market also hamper investment activity of
enterprises. Promoting investment climate by improving tax adjustment includes
providing businesses of investment tax credits, preferential tax equity firms
aimed at upgrading or expansion of production, etc. [2, p. 39].
Today there is a legal basis taxation of enterprises, control the flow
of funds to the budget and their use. However, the need to improve the tax
system is a subject of perennial debate scientists and entrepreneurs.
The main shortcomings of the current tax system include:
-
failure functions to stimulate
entrepreneurship;
-
frequent changes in tax laws;
-
conceptual ambiguity, inconsistency;
-
arbitrary legal regulation.
An important factor to stimulate investment in the regulation of the
financial and credit relations is to establish appropriate conditions for
granting loans and lower interest rates.
Interest rates in the economy of Ukraine include a risk premium and
inflation component, which complicates lending to the real economy. Mechanism
that mitigates this problem is to provide subsidies to the interest rate of the
loan provided loans of priority sectors and industries.
Another important source of investment of domestic enterprises is
returning to Ukraine exported funds. The principal for the state is income tax
on those funds and their use in the real economy, including the banking system.
Monopoly or monopolistic position in the market often harms society
because the effect of increasing public spending. Antitrust regulation is part
of the government regulation, as authorized by the authorities are able to
directly influence on the formation of monopolies, to limit monopoly power and
its manifestations, prohibit activities monopolies like.
Conditions of privatization of state property are one of the factors of
government regulation affecting the investment resources of enterprises. Solving
the problem retooling and restructuring requires substantial investment
resources. Solving this problem requires:
- investment earnings primarily in the development and updating of
technology;
- focusing efforts of privatized enterprises management looking for
investors who would be interested in enterprise development and manufacture of
high quality competitive products;
- introduction of active marketing strategy to find new markets for
their products.
Today, in Ukraine, in addition to external investors have their own
internal potential investors.
However, for larger inward investment necessary mechanisms that would facilitate
the involvement of shadow capital. Solving this problem requires the
development of state programs. Priority can recognize the directions of
investment, are able in a relatively short time to produce tangible
improvements in certain sectors of the national economy.
Thus, to create a favorable investment climate, the government uses
various types of regulations: tax, financial, credit, competition and so on.
Improving regulations will help realize the potential of economic
activity designed to profit from their activities, thus filling the budget and
creating jobs locally.
