The Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment Inflows in Slovakia

Foreign direct investment (FDI) policies play an important role in the economic growth of developing countries around the world. Attracting FDI inflows through conductive policies has therefore become a key battleground in emerging markets. The prospect of new growth opportunities and excessive profits is supported by large capital inflows into various industries and types of opportunities. And this has led to competition between states in formulating flexible policies and providing incentives to attract private investors for more and more investment. In light of the above, the paper emphasizes the trend of FDI in Slovakia after economic reforms, the sectoral and national share of FDI, the way in which FDI affected the growth of the Slovak Republic. Various factors that play an important role in attracting FDI to a particular situation are also examined. The efforts of national governments to attract maximum foreign direct investment are also examined.
