Appropriate and effective regulatory frameworks remain crucial for ensuring inflow of investments in infrastructure.

The World Bank annually assesses the degree of the favorable regulatory environment in different countries around the world for the implementation of major infrastructure projects. In particular, it launched an analytical resource that provides an opportunity to get acquainted with the best world practices for determining the priority areas of development of the legal framework of public-private partnership in each country.

The data on the platform is based on the World Bank's annual report "Benchmarking Infrastructure Development 2020". The report comprehensively covers the quality of the regulatory framework for the implementation of infrastructure projects both on the basis of PPP and with the use of budget funding for the main stages of the project life cycle.

In recent years, Ukraine has made significant progress in improving the conditions for attracting investment in infrastructure. As stated in the report, according to most criteria, Ukraine is ahead of the world average and the average for the region of Europe and Central Asia.
