Title: Business fixed investment in H1 2016
Abstract: In H1 2016, business fixed investment stood at 95.7% against the corresponding period of the previous year. Reduction in the scale of investment and construction activity is due to pattern of adaptability of economic entities to the current situation in the economy. The segment of large and medium enterprises faces a gradual easing of recession: during January–June 2016 against the corresponding period of the previous year, business fixed investment shrank by 1.0%. In the current environment small enterprises responded with derailing construction and investment activity. Upward trend in the share of own funds with a reduction of borrowed capital has strengthened in the structure of the investment financing sources. Business fixed investment of large enterprises in the mining sector went up by 7.5% in H1 2016 against the corresponding period of the previous year. Manufacturing industry and infrastructure sectors have demonstrated enhancement of recession along quarters of the current year.
