This study aims to justify ways to enhance the investment potential in the context of strengthening and improving the financial security of the agricultural sector of Ukraine's economy. According to the authors of the article, it is important to perform a scientific task that involves presenting a modern theoretical-scientific approach to assessing the investment attractiveness and the efficiency of using the investment potential of the agricultural sector in the regions of Ukraine. Investment potential in the agricultural sector means the ability and prospects for investing capital in the sector with the aim of ensuring financial security. This potential is determined by various indicators that either increase or decrease the sector's attractiveness for investment. The research uses a trend line in forecasting investments, a method of integral rating assessment, and an auxiliary method of normalization used for indicators. This study proposes a theoretical-scientific approach that includes analyzing and compiling a ranking of regions in terms of their investment attractiveness and the efficiency of using investment opportunities in the agricultural sector in the context of ensuring financial security. An algorithm is used to establish the criteria for assessing the investment attractiveness of various regions and to compile a ranking of regions based on indicators of each sphere of investment attractiveness related to the issue of ensuring financial security. Based on the results obtained, strategic decisions regarding ensuring financial security were identified. The authors note that the study has limitations due to considering only the specifics of the agricultural sector of Ukraine's economy. Moreover, due to the state of war, not all regions of the country were considered in the article. Prospects for further research involve assessing the investment potential in the post-war period for all regions of Ukraine.

The influence of environmentally caused investment losses on the value of the regional investment potential according to the phases of reproduction is investigated. The necessity of ecological and economic evaluation of reproduction of regional investment potential is proved and a corresponding evaluation algorithm is developed. The authors proposed the approaches to ecological and economic evaluation of reproduction of regional investment potential. These approaches can determine cost value of the regional investment potential taking into account environmentally caused investment losses. The results of this paper can help to solve management problems in the investment area.

The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of European integration processes in Ukraine on the development of investment potential and institutional maturity of rural communities. As a result of the analysis of strategic documents of all rural communities of Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv and Rivne regions, a low level of institutional capacity to attract investments was established. Based on the analysis of the strategies, programs, and investment passports of 79 united territorial communities, it is found that only 39.2% of them have approved development strategies, and 45% of communities have socio-economic development plans. To assess the challenges and threats arising during the process of implementation of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement, the author’s methodology was developed and the method of expert assessments was applied – the survey involved 75 experts from 20 regions of Ukraine. It is found that there are much more opportunities (59) than threats (17) at the level of rural communities. Such findings, together with low community activity in attracting investment and developing investment attractiveness, indicate that decentralization and new opportunities arising from European integration processes are still underutilized and are a sign of low institutional maturity of rural communities.

The article examines the role of smart specialization as an innovative approach to the development of the tourism sector in the regions of Ukraine. The aim of the study is to analyze, systematize, generalize and improve the theoretical and methodological support for the introduction of smart specialization in the context of the formation of the investment potential of the tourism sector. It is determined that the development of tourism in the context of smart specialization allows combining economic growth with innovation and sustainable development. Smart specialization is focused on concentrating efforts and resources on a limited number of strategic areas that have the greatest potential for attracting investment and increasing the competitiveness of regions. The study showed that the introduction of smart specialization in the tourism sector contributes to structural changes in regional economies, increases the added value of tourism services and stimulates local development. The process of developing a project to increase the investment potential of the tourism sector on the basis of the introduction of smart specialization, consisting of eight stages, is substantiated as follows: analysis of the tourism potential of the region with the purpose of assessing the existing tourism potential of the region, which involves identifying its unique resources, opportunities for development and existing limitations; strategic planning of tourism development, the purpose of which is to determine the main directions of development of the tourism sector, set priorities and develop a long-term strategy; analysis of infrastructure development in order to study the existing tourist infrastructure and identify areas for its improvement; partnership and cooperation, the purpose of which is to establish partnerships with local businesses, scientific institutions and civil society for the joint implementation of the project; development of innovative solutions with the purpose of integrating innovations into all aspects of the tourism sector to increase its competitiveness; development of a strategy for attracting investments, aiming at formation of an effective strategy for attracting foreign and domestic investors in the development of the tourism sector; marketing and promotion, the purpose of which is to create an effective system for promoting the region’s tourism product in the domestic and international markets; monitoring and evaluation, in order is to track the effectiveness of the project and ensure that it meets the set goals.

The current market economy implies that the search for effective sources of financing the fixed assets reproduction is one of the key tasks in managing the fixed capital of the economic entity. In the changing external environment, modernized equipment of enterprises provides an opportunity to carry out innovative activities, as well as to implement investment projects. The aim of the research was to outline a modern approach to financing the reproduction of fixed assets based on the identification of the relationship between investments and innovations in this process. The research involved the following methods: analysis and synthesis to determine trends in the dynamics of capital investment in Ukraine and the Republic of Poland; regression analysis to forecast the capital investment volume in Ukraine and the Republic of Poland; the internal rate of return to evaluate the effectiveness of the innovation and investment project of a woodworking enterprise. Capital investment volumes in Ukraine and Poland are determined. The 2025 capital investment volume is projected at$8.02 billion in Ukraine (provided a stable rate of further economic decline), and at $ 110.2 billion in the Republic of Poland. The strategic priorities for the development of woodworking enterprises are outlined: the production of innovative products; implementation of effective solutions for products and markets provided full implementation of innovation and investment strategy; focus on current market needs; ensuring a minimum degree of risk with maximum control of the innovation and investment project; achieving a short-term return on investment with maximum liquidity of the project and the implementation of innovation and investment strategy. An innovation and investment project was developed for the production re-equipment to create an innovative model of interior doors, and its economic justification was carried out.

After wars, nations have problems reconstructing their nation, Ukraine. Unfortunately, the Middle has been struck by profound infrastructure destruction, economic disruption and fragmentation of society that continues in conflict. This study investigates how project management contributes to sustainable economic development in Ukraine’s reconstruction in 2023 through some projects being pursued. The study used a mixed method approach, qualitative case studies and quantitative analysis, which included the unit root test of ADF, Johansen cointegration test and ARDL long run and short run estimates to assess the impact of project management variables. The study finds that short- and long-term sustainability outcomes are driven by Community Impact, Stakeholder Engagement, and International Support. The ECT value showed rapid adjustment to equilibrium, and results from the ARDL long run showed that these variables had substantial effects. The main policy recommendation is to improve collaboration and promote innovation whilst emphasising resource efficiency. This research provides a complete framework for integrating project management with sustainable development in post-conflict reconstruction and actionable insights for Ukraine’s recovery.

The article examines the relationship between the size of the shadow economy and indicators of the investment market development. Net inflow of foreign direct investments, volume of net investments in non-financial assets, volumes of portfolio investments, and net outflow of foreign direct investment were used as parameters characterizing the development of the investment market. The dependence between the indicators was analyzed using the regression equation, Shapiro-Wilk test. Research results demonstrate that the increase in the inflow and outflow of foreign direct investments leads to an increase in the size of the shadow economy without a time lag in Ukraine, Poland, Slovenia, Romania, Croatia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and with a time lag of 1 year in Slovakia and Hungary. The largest impact on the size of the shadow economy is made by the volume of inflow and outflow of direct foreign investments, while the volume of portfolio investments has a less significant effect. Consequently, it was concluded that the processes of inflow and outflow of direct foreign investments require enhanced control by specialized state executive bodies given the scale of their potential destabilizing impact on the macroeconomic stability of the country.

This article introduces a step-by-step methodology for evaluating an enterprise’s investment attractiveness in the context of economic development, using appropriate valuation parameters at macro, meso and micro levels. A system of indicators of macro-level investment attractiveness has been formed based on the criteria of socio-economic and legal attractiveness and investment risks. The indicators for assessing investment attractiveness of the industry have been grouped by the criteria of: prospects of the industry, positioning of the enterprise in the industry market, and sectoral investment risks. The indicators of investment attractiveness have been systematised with the use of three-dimensional current and operational analysis, as well as the method of risk assessment, which helped to determine the area of reaction to risk zones of the enterprise’s investment potential. The research allowed us to assess the position of a company in the market and to predict the risks of investing in the chemical industry.

The main purpose of the article is to propose a theoretical and methodological approach to the assessment of the innovative-investment potential of a region for the implementation of public-private partnerships. The object of study is the innovative-investment potential of a particular region. To achieve the set goal, the scientific task is posed in the form of developing and implementing an approach to assess the level of innovative-investment potential in the region in order to identify prospects for the implementation of public-private partnerships. The research methodology involves the application of various methods, the key among which is the method of taxonomic analysis. The key components of innovative-investment potential and the indicators for which the assessment was conducted have been identified. Special attention is given to economic-financial indicators. The work of the taxonomic approach in the context of our research is described. The key indicators of assessment of innovative-investment potential for each city in the selected region have been calculated. Standardized values for each calculation result have been determined. A ranking of all cities according to their potential level was carried out, and it was determined which of them has the greatest security potential for the implementation of public-private partnerships. As a result, the obtained data showed the practical value of the proposed assessment method. The research has limitations in the form of taking into account the specifics and information of only one region of the country. Prospects for further research include expanding the regional aspect in conducting assessments.
