Abstract: Abstract The aim of the chapter is to analyse the historical development and recent trends in FDI inflows to Slovakia. The paper identifies structural changes in FDI inflows to Slovakia that were triggered by the world economic crisis and discusses how these changes have affected the performance and competitiveness of the economy. It shows that foreign investors have re-focused their attention to sectors and industries with higher added value and higher capital intensity of production. The paper concludes with recommendations for Slovak policy-makers on how to adjust the investment environment to the new conditions and trends in the world economy.
