It is noted that the quality of the investment climate of a country or business environment determines the risks and transaction costs of investing and operating a business. It is emphasized that it is very difficult to provide an accurate quantitative assessment of the investment climate, so it is usually assessed as: favorable; unfavorable; neutral. It is justified that the investment climate is formed under the influence of a set of factors that characterize the conditions of investment activity of both objective and subjective plans and determine the level of risk of investment.
