This amount is $ 2 billion, or almost four times, higher than invested in the treasury of foreign investors. But these are the data of the National Bank, and experts said that the real gap is much larger. The contribution of foreigners to the economy of Nezalezhnaya is actually quite modest. For example, in 2017 g. the volume of direct foreign investment, according to the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine, was only $ 1.87 billion. Cyprus ($ 506 million, or 27%), Russia ($ 395 million, or 21%) and the Netherlands ($ 262 million, or 14%) invested the most.. And the British and the Germans did not spare $ 211 million and $ 119 million, respectively. "Who will invest in the country in which the civil war is taking place, in which the economy is actually destroyed?" - said the president of the Center for System Analysis and Forecasting Rostislav Ishchenko. And not only investors shun Ukraine. Local oligarchs withdraw their capital from the country to Europe, the most developed countries of Asia and Africa and even to Russia, said RT Deputy Dean of the Faculty of World Economy and Politics of the Higher School of Economics Andrey Suzdaltsev. The exact number of currently working Ukrainians abroad is not known, most likely, their several million. In 2016 year. according to the Foreign Ministry, there were 4 million. And in 2017 g. , as calculated by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the citizens traveled almost 10 million times to Poland, 4.3 million to Russia, 3.1 million to Hungary.

And this "labor landing" will only grow, experts predicted.. Almost 30% of citizens would like to leave the country. At the same time, it is unlikely that the outflow of population growth will be accompanied by an increase in the volume of foreign exchange transfers, analysts said.. Gradually, those who leave the country, "pull their families" and remain in new places. "And the cash flow, while going to Ukraine, after a while will begin to decline," said Suzdaltsev.
