Abstract: The countries in transition need FDI not just to produce more goods and a higher quality. Foreign capital investments are the most efficient and safe way to integrate into the world economy. Further, we shall examine some structural changes, which had been made, under the influence of FDI, in the economies of new European countries (Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria), drawing attention also upon the changes in the export potential of that country. We examine the impact of FDIs on economic growth in the short-run and in the long-run in the above mentioned countries, Poland and Czech Republic being one of the most developed CEE countries that attracted most of FDIs in the region for the last two decades and Bulgaria and Romania being from the second wave of EU accession.
