The Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment in Emerging Economies

Foreign direct investment (FDI) has been considered as a very significant tool for the development of developed countries as well as for the development of developing countries. In the case of India and Poland, both emerging markets are providing enormous opportunities for domestic as well as for foreign markets. The adaptation of new liberal policies by both the countries in 1991 make them as favourite places for FDI in their regions. Poland became a favourite destination for the EU member states, and India is considered to be the largest market for service providers in the world. India also considers Poland as a gateway to the European Union. But at the same time FDI inflow-outflow between these two entities has been noticed very low and not to be considered at the high priority scale, although both the entities are sharing similar interest and willingness towards cooperation with each other. This book is a result of a systematic and methodical investigation to find out how FDI from these two entities can play a bigger role to establish new trade relations between them and provide a high confidence for foreign investors.
