The current crisis highlights even more the economic interest of investing in some international destinations. According to the study conducted by UNCTAD, Poland is not only one of the countries just suffering the effects of the decline in the economy overall but that said this country as one of the 15 them more targeted foreign investment.
On July 22, UNCTAD published the annual survey of "World Investment Prospects Survey 2009 - 2011", which examines the flow of international investment between 2009 and 2011. This year, the results point to Poland as one of the countries preferred to international investors. In fact, the country is the only representation of the EEC in the 'Top 15' group who receive more foreign investment. Among the countries of Western Europe, Germany, France and United Kingdom have entered into the group.
The interest in investing in a given country has been assessed in 13 categories. Some of them Poland excelled above the average. The country was evaluated in relation to its local market and market growth. In these categories, the study also highlighted countries of BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China), Indonesia, Germany, Viet Nam, and Thailand.
In addition, the study highlighted the Polish system of incentives for investment and the fact that the country offers an easy access to international markets.
Of new members from Europe, only Poland and the Czech Republic appear in the top 30 as main destinations for foreign investment, with Poland in the eleventh position.
