Statistical assessment of direct investment (equity capital instruments) in the economy of the Dnipropetrovsk area

Introduction. The statistics above prove that the Dnipropetrovsk area in terms of the volume of attracted foreign direct investment is confidently ranked 1st among the regions of Ukraine in 2024. The purpose of the paper is to build a model of statistical assessment of direct investment (tools of participation in capital) in the economy of Dnipropetrovsk area. Results. The shortcomings that create significant problems of formation of information and analytical support of existing models of analysis of investment cooperation between countries are identified. Adaptive forecasting based on the method of exponential smoothing. The essence of this method is that each element (level) of the time row is smoothed with a weighted average, and its weight decreases as the end of the row is removed. The forecast of direct investment (instruments of participation in capital) of EU countries in the economy of Dnipropetrovsk area by 2028 was built. Based on statistical analysis for the period 2015-2023.
