It is noted that the companies engaged in computer programming have increased the volume of products sold 10 times over 9 years. Capital investments grew until 2016. In the same year, the net profit in the industry began to increase sharply and in general, from 2010 to 2018, it grew by 9800%.
As for food production, this industry came out of the year's crisis only in 2017. Capital investments in those industries have grown by 326% over 9 years.
In the electrical equipment production industry, according to the report, the capital investment increased by 248%, and net profit by 778%.
These sectors were selected due to the best ratio of growth in net profit to growth in capital investment.

Having everything necessary for business development, Ukraine is becoming more and more attractive for international investors. Despite many challenges, investors value the willingness of the government and society to take steps to transform Ukraine into a dynamic market economy.
