Only China, Germany, the United Kingdom and India were ranked above Poland, the Ministry reported, underlining that “Poland remains a secure and profitable place to invest, not only locally but also globally” in the face of a global decrease in value of FDIs.
The ranking states that in 2018, 163 projects had been developed in Poland, and only 140 were needed to maintain fifth place. This is an improvement from Poland’s sixth place in 2017 and according to the ministry “confirms our unique ability to develop investments as a part of FDI.”
Out of the Central-Eastern European region, apart from Poland, only Hungary found itself in the top 10, taking tenth place with 80 realized FDI projects.
The ranking was created by American Conway Analytics. It took into account investments worth more than 1 million USD, which created more than 20 workplaces and new surface areas exceeding 1,000 square meters.
