ІНВЕСТИЦІЙНА СКЛАДОВА ФІНАНСОВОЇ БЕЗПЕКИ

Today's Ukraine needs an optimum investment model, as those that exist are incapable of providing any restructuring of the national economy, or of solving local problems of the socio–economic crisis. Losing the bitter struggle for foreign investment will lead to Ukraine being displaced to the periphery of world capital markets and, consequently, to the economic reform program being curtailed. The level of investment security in Ukraine is still rather low. The investment climate prevailing in our country is failing to stimulate or attract direct and portfolio investment which is needed for a variety of functions, such as improve the investment climate in Ukraine, to increase investment activity and thus the level of investment security through the establishment of appropriate financial, economic, legal and methodological frameworks, and to concentrate resources on implementing an improved investment policy. This paper discusses the need to develop investment processes in Ukraine, taking into account its investment security. It characterizes national interests in the field of investment security and emphasizes that developing theoretical and methodological foundations for investment security is predicated on defining principles for investments in general. The paper also deals with the main thrusts of research into investment security, the approaches taken to determine the nature and content of the authors' hypothesis regarding the definition of "investment security" and its various classifications. Finally, the characteristics of the relationship between and interdependence of the components of investment security are addressed.
