A total of 11 billion euros in foreign direct investment (FDI) flowed into Poland last year, and at least as much is expected to arrive this year as the country continues to rank high internationally in terms of investment appeal.

I wonder what kind of investments, if its property then it is very negative, when it is foreign companies then it is rather positive (not always though). Companies from Germany an generally the West that place their production in Poland are ok but the worst are companies from the far East i.e. Korea like Dell and LG.

Reason why they open their companies in Poland is very clear: very cheap workers and EU.

And Growth potential. Educated workforce.

Property investment isn't bad. Going from 100% Polish ownership results in Poles getting paid more for any property they own. You obviously don't own property, otherwise you would be crowing about how your property was increasing in value. I don't either, so I know your pain.

Thats one factor for sure, but this is just the start.
