Abstract: The global economy is trying to recover after the severe crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the immediate impact on foreign direct investments (FDI) is still serious. In fact, FDI was one of the fields which was dramatically affected by the crisis. Therefore, in 2020, under the pandemic effects, the FDI flows to EU followed the same decreasing trends as the global level FDI. Considering the importance of the FDI in ensuring a support for economic growth and development through the value chains, the effects of the crisis were felt in various countries and the FDI flows registered different trends. In this paper, there were analysed the main evolutions registered by the FDI at the European level, taking into consideration the impact of the pandemic crisis. Also, there are compared recent trends of the FDI inflows and outflows in the main EU countries - by capital investment and by investment project numbers – and presented some forecasts regarding the FDI in the next future.
