FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT INCENTIVES IN CROATIA AND CHOSEN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

According to the global trends the competition for attracting FDI is especially strong among developing countries for which those kinds of investments represent an important source of foreign capital and the source of potential positive spillovers on the economy. Many countries offer different incentives in order to attract foreign investors and divert them from investing in competing countries. This paper analyzes the importance of designing FDI incentive policies and measures. In the paper an overview of the existing literature on FDI determinants and incentives is given along with the analysis of FDI flows in the six selected countries, among which three are the EU candidates, namely Croatia, Macedonia and Turkey, and the other three countries, Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina are potential EU candidates. Programs and measures of attracting FDI in selected countries are analyzed and compared in order to notice certain similarities and differences between them, as well as to determine the level of competiveness and perspectives for attracting foreign investors in the mentioned economies.
