Policy Measures Supporting Outward FDI in Poland

Summary/Abstract: It is much more difficult to justify why a State would like to offer preferential conditions to OFDI than in the case of IFDI. Such doubts are raised in particular in countries like Poland which, differently from many other emerging economies, suffer from shortages in their own savings. However, more and more Polish enterprises locate their economic operations abroad. Although the scale of expansion is still not very impressive, in the light of the idea proposed in the Investment Development Path by J. Dunning, we should expect its intensification in the years to come. Therefore the question is whether supporting OFDI from public resources would be a reasonable policy. The government intervention must remain within the framework of Polish foreign currency law and common EU competition rules. Instruments available under the two regimes are numerous and versatile. Nevertheless, their application in Poland has so far been more than modest. It could be justified by the lack of knowledge about the effects of OFDI for Poland’s economy. The paper aims at presenting the measures applied so far to support the OFDI in Poland and at formulating recommendations for such policy.
