The foreign direct investment (FDI) balance in Poland amounted to some €12.9 billion in 2016, the Ministry of Finance reported. According to the Poland’s Central Bank (NBP), in 2015 the net FDI inflows amounted to €12.14 billion. “Residents' liabilities to foreign investors in direct investment increased by €12.9 billion in 2016, which was close to the capital inflow in 2015,” the finance ministry wrote in its report. “The inflow of long-term capital was supported by the positive dynamics of economic activity in the EU countries, which are the main source of direct investment inflows into Poland. The most positive contribution was reinvested profits backed by good corporate earnings,” the report concluded.
