Abstract

Outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) of Polish firms on a significant scale is a very recent phenomenon. Although it emerged in the second half of the 1990s, only the 2000s saw its rapid growth with the average annual outflow between 2005 and 2010 amounting to US$6.5 billion, with a peak of US$8.9 billion recorded in 2006 (UNCTAD, 2011). As a result of the increase in OFDI, the gap between inward and outward foreign direct investment (FDI) started to diminish, although it still remains relatively large; i.e. FDI outflows represented 48.5 per cent of FDI inflows in 2010. Similar surges of outward FDI were experienced by some other Central and East European (CEE) countries, but Poland remains the biggest exporter of FDI in the region (excluding the Russian Federation).
