OREANDA-NEWS. March 02, 2012. The chairman of the State Tax Service Oleksandr Klymenko assured that the new index of investment activity, which initiated by the Tax Service, will compare the Ukrainian business, primarily with European and American. He said this during a meeting with the President of the European Business Association Tomas Vial.

"We have told repeatedly that we are forming tax policy in the European trend. This also applies to our efforts as a regulator of the investment climate in Ukraine. Drawing on leading experts in sociology, the Tax Service wants to have adequate knowledge about the current situation and impact of global trends to our economy" – Mr. Klymenko said.

According to the taxman, today Ukraine use multiple indexes associated with the investment attractiveness of the country. However, these studies do not meet the local experts, because they do not include an analysis of the Ukrainian business.

Thus the chairman of the State Tax Service Oleksandr Klymenko noted that "diagnosis" of the Ukrainian economy will be held at least twice a year.

"Every six months, an analysis of Ukrainian and foreign enterprises of all forms of property is held, determined their specific and trends. This analysis will identify regional characteristics of the investment climate. We'll get a full economic map of Ukraine" - Oleksandr Klymenko said.
