Overview
Recent events in Eastern Europe have brought questions of foreign investment to the fore. Why should foreign concerns want to invest in countries like Poland and Hungary? What are the pitfalls to be avoided? How can East European countries attract investment? This book answers these questions in the light of the increased economic activity in the countries of Eastern Europe. While there has always been some investment, it has been limited and often based on special agreements allowing investors no proprietory rights; governments are now rapidly developing policies to encourage joint ventures and foreign enterprise. This study looks at the variety of problems that face investors, such as converting earnings into hard currencies, the controls imposed by state bureaucracies which are still powerful, and the constantly changing regulations. It explains today's legal regulations, covering the way they have evolved and the current changes. By looking at companies already investing in Eastern Europe, it analyses not only the problems they encounter but the ones they create. This study also looks at the political and social implications of such economic activity and concludes with an analysis of the long-term future for foreign enterprise.Book Details
