Low multiplier indicators show that the role of investment as a driver of economic development is used at a very low level, which is on the one hand a consequence of the crisis in the economy under the influence of objective conditions (global economic crisis, military action, increasing risks of investing in long-term projects). ) and insufficiently effective domestic investment policy, namely the reduction of the role of the state as an activator and effective regulator of investment processes.
