Purpose. Substantiation of the formation of the mechanism of project financing for solving issues of financial maintenance of infrastructural projects of innovative development in Ukraine. Methodology. The information base of the research is legislative and normative documents and results of scientific achievements of leading foreign and domestic scientists. The following methods, such as analysis and synthesis; comparison and systematization; observation; graphic, tabular; logical generalization are used. Findings. According to the results of the research, it is proved that to ensure sustainable economic growth and diversification of Ukraines economy, the importance of institutions for development and use of such a multi-instrumental form of reproduction of real investments as project financing, becomes actual. Based on the system approach, the features, elemental composition and subsystems of the project financing mechanism are determined. It is established that the current legislative basis for the formation of the project financing mechanism in Ukraine is fragmentary and needs further development. It is proved that the implementation of measures of state stimulation of the processes of financing the innovative development of Ukraines economy will be facilitated by the adoption of the Laws of Ukraine On The Bank of Development, On Syndicated Loan and the proposals for the formation of project financing developed in the research. Originality. For the first time, a comprehensive theoretical approach to the formation of the project financing mechanism in Ukraine has been implemented. The need is substantiated for highlighting such subsystems of the mechanism as providing subsystem (institutional environment of which is legislative support and regulatory bodies), transforming subsystem (financial instruments and participants of which are the Bank of Development, international financial organizations, banks, institutional investors, development institutions, project sponsors) and performance subsystem (financial resources in the required amounts, currencies and terms). The effective operation of the proposed mechanism helps to overcome the shortage of long-term financial resources needed for lending support of innovative enterprises that implement large-scale and capital-intensive investment projects and programs of national importance. Practical value. Introduction of the mechanism of implementation of the program for supporting the project financing development will allow accumulating considerable amounts of financial resources from various sources on a long-term target basis; increasing the level of investment and the number of innovative projects; reducing the total cost of funding and risks through their redistribution among participants of the project.

Background. The domestic economy remains systemically underfunded due to lack of domestic financial resources and low investment attractiveness for foreign investors. The deepening of this problem is also caused by the situation with COVID-19, which has led to a decrease in global cash flows in the world. Obtaining cross-border investment flows in various sectors of the economy is associated with project financing, the development of co-financing and the use of PPPs. There is a question of research of modern tendencies of development of project financing which change according to present challenges, for the purpose of implementation of experience of foreign countries in the Ukrainian practice of development of investment activity. Analysis of recent research and publications has shown that in the context of abrupt changes, challenges and crises, leading to reduction oflong-term investments, the issue of using large-scale project financing to guarantee future profits (project financing) to develop priority sectors of the economy and individual regions of the country remains relevant. The aim of the work is to study the global industry trends in the development of project financing, taking into account the new socio-economic realities and justification of the feasibility of using world experience in Ukrainian practice. Materials and methods. The research methodology is based on a system of general scientific and special methods, in particular: abstract-logical, analysis, synthesis, comparison, grouping, generalization, graphical method, statistical methods for assessing the dynamics and structure. Legislative documents, scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists, statistical information became the information base of this research. Results. The modern tendencies of the global market of project financing, dynamics of its volumes and branch structure are investigated. The directions of project financing by the main sources are analyzed: bank loans and bond loans. The expediency of using international experience in the implementation of large-scale investment projects in various sectors of the economy of Ukraine using schemes and methods of project financing is substantiated. Conclusion. The introduction of experience in the implementation of investment projects using project financing schemes in Ukraine should contribute to the formation of demand for long-term investments, including foreign ones. This practice of project implementation allows to modernize the economy, increase the potential of regional development and integrate into global value chains.

Currently, the Russian regions apply a vast array of tools for regulating the investment process, including tax incentives. Active use of tax preferences is dictated by the fact that in the conditions of regional budget deficit, tax incentives, unlike subsidies, do not require direct budget expenditures for stimulating investment activity. However, the world experience demonstrates that tax incentives do not fall under the group of factors that strongly affect investment decisions. For determining the degree of preference of tax incentives in relation to other measures of regional support, a survey was carried among Chinese investors, who implement investment projects on the territory of Zabaykalsky Krai. The survey was based on a method of hierarchical analysis based on the special matrices by filed in by the investors. The acquired results displayed that out of ten measures of state support, tax incentives hold the eighth place. The calculated coefficient of the significance of tax incentives testifies to the low attractiveness of fiscal stimuli for the Chinese investors. The authora attempted to find the reasons for tax incentive not being in demand. The scientific novelty of this work consists in conducting the analysis of regional legislation that regulates the order of granting investment tax incentives based on the concept of behavioral economics. In the course of application of the provisions of behavioral economics, emphasis was made on the subjective aspect of the mechanism of preferential taxation. The reasonableness of considering such peculiarities of human mind as cognitive inertia and relativity is substantiated with regards to arranging the structure of tax incentives that would allow increasing the importance of tax incentives in formation of investment climate on the territory of Zabaykalsky Krai. The authors make recommendations on increasing the attractiveness of tax incentives among Chinese investors based on the concept of reference point and the effect of loss aversion.

Financial investment projects are characterized by uncertainties. When quantified, these will determine the probability of their occurrence and the condition of risk. This information might be analyzed via simulation of Monte Carlo Method, which will establish the level of associated risk. To understand the financial risks of broiler production in integration system, cash flow models for aviaries were formulated with different technological levels. Using deterministic techniques, the value of the main economic viability indicators were calculated, which were incorporated to the risk through a probabilistic model of pseudo-random numbers, generated with Monte Carlo Method. The uncertainties associated to financial projects show that broiler production in different integration systems is economically viable. However, the best financial return and smallest risk are obtained with an aviary which contains low technological level and the least financial investment.

Any municipality has to solve a lot of problems concerning a decent level of economic and social development of the area and the life standard of their residents. In conditions of the constant shortage of financial resources needed to solve the objectives, the investment policy becomes the major tool. Its main aim is not only to attract extra resources but also to distribute them properly. It requires both some certain legal conditions which allow correct evaluation of the social and economic situation in the municipalities, investment climate, conditions for the investment activities infrastructure development and the properly developed business, investment and corporate culture of the population.For most of the Russian territories the problem of attracting investments into the real production sector remains urgent. The solution of this problem requires rational approach to the determination and selection of the most appropriate investment directions and the evaluation of the perspective investment projects development – suggestions and activities aimed at the achievement of the particular economic, social, ecological and other objectives requiring capital funds.The relevance of the examined problem leads to another important issue connected with the training of a highly skilled personnel capable of giving proper evaluation of the political situation in the country, specific features of tax policy, microeconomic indexes of the certain area and other factors essential for the investment activity.
