Abstract: The transformation and modernization process of the Polish economy in the last 15 years has created a big demand for foreign capital. A successful stabilization process and opening up of the Polish market brought a dynamic inflow of foreign capital by the mid-1990s, which reached the highest absolute level in Central Europe in 1998. Although this record level of capital inflow resulted from the privatization process, Poland remains an attractive target for foreign investors. Privatization has not ended, but the long and sometimes bureaucratic processes in this field mean that many investors today prefer greenfield investment, which accounts for the largest share of FDI flows.
