Abstract: Based on the analysis of results gained from the surveys undertaken by international organisations, and based on personal survey, the aim of the research was to contribute to the identification of relevant determinants that have influence on multinational company’s location decisions when investing abroad. By using the method of questionnaire we have performed a survey in order to reveal the perception of the foreign investors in Macedonia. According to UNCTAD’s survey the most important location determinants globally are the following: the macroeconomic and political stability, the quality of telecommunications, availability and cost of the highly skilled labour, corporate taxes and quality of the banking and financial services. The analyses of the perception of the foreign investors in Macedonia shows that the corporate taxation is of the highest importance, followed by the political and macroeconomic stability, personal taxation and investment incentives. Additional analyses per sectors and type of investment (horisontal or vertical) shows variety of factor rankings.
