FDI in Figures

According to the Government Agency for Foreign Direct Investment, the Czech Republic ranks first among central and eastern European countries in terms of FDI stock and per capita inflows. This is due to the introduction of investment incentives, the presence of skilled and inexpensive labour, and the geographical advantages of the Czech Republic, such as its location in the heart of Central Europe. There is a shift in the destination of FDI from manufacturing to "strategic service centres". Moreover, Czech Republic was ranked 27th out of 190 countries in the World Bank's Doing Business 2017 ranking as the country has been steadily progressing in recent years. In early 2015, the Czech Republic announced its objective to become one of the ten most attractive countries for FDI in the European Union by 2018.
According to UNCTAD World Investment Report 2017, FDI inflows reached USD 6.75 billion in 2016, their second highest level since 2008. The countries of the European Union are the most important foreign investors in the Czech Republic.
