International trade in Ukraine�s regions during 2016 is analyzed. The taxonomy method is\nused to carry out a multidimensional analysis of the state of trade in all regions, with the goal\nof determining their attractiveness with respect to investment and international cooperation.\nKey indicators were chosen to be: export and import of services, export and import of goods,\nbalance of the trade of services, balance of the trade of goods, and retail trade. Using the\nstandardized matrix of statistical values, provided by Ukraine�s national statistics agency, the\nlevel of development of each region was determined, as well as its rating. A comparison of\nthis year�s ratings with those of the previous two years is carried out. Based on the calculated\ninter-regional distance matrix, calculated in the context of the seven chosen parameters,\nnonlinear structures of regional connections are constructed. Using them, clusters of regions\ncan be constructed that take into account trade dynamics and other economic activity. The\nconstructed linear and nonlinear connection structure of Ukraine�s regions can become the\nbasis of fruitful cooperation in the area of trade. They can also be used when carrying out\nmutual investment projects and when regulating the exchange of goods between Ukraine�s\nregions. The determination of the regions� ratings and the nonlinear structures of their trade\nrelations can provide valuable information to investors both foreign and domestic.
