The article analyzes an aggregate indicator consisting of 10 components of governance (sub-indices) to assess the competitiveness of cities. The competitiveness of cities is ranked by 10 components. Under conditions of decentralization, the role of local government in economic development is growing, and it is not countries and regions that are competing, but enterprises and their clusters. To assess the business climate in cities, the article summarizes the data of the US Agency for International Development's Report "Competitive Economy of Ukraine" in partnership with Info Sapiens and the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting introducing the Index of Competitiveness of Ukrainian Cities developed through personal interviews with business representatives in Ukrainian cities and with the help of desk research. Indicators and obstacles to increasing the competitiveness of the regions of Ukraine are summarized. The conducted analysis made it possible to establish the negative dynamics of reducing the level of competitiveness of Ukrainian regions and to identify the reasons associated with a significant decline in economic indicators of the regions.
