The effect of technology in these sectors had risen sector and area that until then had remained neglected. The paper investigates the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) in economic growth using detailed sectoral FDI in Kosovo during the period 2000-2013.

The negative effect of extractive industries in creating income and environmental pollution in Kosovo is not surprising. FDI in manufacturing industries by stimulating exports generate more income. FDI are likely to repatriate their profits but are likely to increase employment.
