Results The analysis enabled to identify the key factors of macroeconomic policy that shapes investment environment. Regulation of these factors is often associated with to tactical tasks solution to stabilize the economic system, and usually does not anticipate the involvement of business community. However, interaction with private investors is systemically important in structural policy implementation, which has a direct impact on the effect of macroeconomic regulation.
Conclusions and Relevance Unlike monetary and fiscal policies, which are used to solve tactical tasks, a structural policy contributes to solving the more serious challenges.
