Abstract

Foreign direct investment is the key driver for both Poland and Vietnam’s economic development in recent years. By the end of 2015, FDI sector in Vietnam comprised for 25% total investment, 14.46% of state budget revenue, with total FDI inward stock of nearly 103.8 billion USD. In Poland, FDI sector according to the UNCTAD 2016 World Investment Report, saw a 40% decrease in the FDI influx (USD 7.5 billion in 2015), after having entered the top 20 host economies in terms of FDI inflows in 2014. FDI inflows to Poland reflect the international economic situation as well as the economic slowdown in the EU following the Eurozone crisis of 2012–2013. This paper analyzes some main features of FDI in Poland and Vietnam during the period 2003–2015, finds out some similarities and differences between FDI flows in the two countries.
