| Summary: | The purpose of the study is to identify the relationship between the values of major
international rankings and the volume of foreign direct investment for 20 leading countries in
involvement FDI. The following rankings were examined: the index of ease of doing business,
international and global ratings of competitiveness, the index of economic freedom, tolerance for
corruption. Analysis of the places occupied by Ukraine in the relevant rankings. The statistical
processing of information on 20 leading countries in terms of foreign direct investment and
the corresponding place of these countries in the main international rankings, the use of the
correlation method to identify the relationship between these indicators, methods of analysis
and synthesis, comparing the level of foreign direct investment with the corresponding values
of known international indices. In addition, countries were classified into three different
groups depending on the relationship between the values of the main international ratings and
of foreign direct investment. Another research method was the abstract-logical method to find
new additional factors that determine the investment attractiveness of countries. The analysis
of the relationship between the inflow of foreign direct investment and the corresponding
place of the studied countries in the main international rankings did not show a significant
dependence. At the same time, it was found that a number of countries that hold leading
positions in attracting the highest volumes of foreign direct investment have correspondingly
high-ranking positions in international indices. However, this sample of countries turned out
to be the smallest. The largest number was the sample of countries, it was half of the list of
countries for which there is no correlation between the volume of foreign direct investment and
the rating values in major international indices. The analysis showed a fairly close relationship
between the volume of foreign direct investment, on the one hand, and the size of the country,
which is characterized by GDP and population, on the other hand. However, in our opinion,
international ratings should not be ignored in general: achieving high places in international
rankings to some extent forms a positive investment image of the country, and ignoring the
results of ratings can lead to financial isolation of the country. At the same time, the study
of new factors that cause the desire to make foreign direct investment in a country is a very
interesting object of further research
