Why Macedonia hasn’t succeeded for a Long Time in absorbing Foreign Direct Investment

Summary/Abstract: Recently, almost all countries of the world without exception, developed countries or the developing countries, are attracting foreign direct investments. The reason is that there is no dilemma that the benefits of foreign direct investments in the host countries as well as domestic countries are greater than the damage that they can have. Western Balkan countries also are following this trend for attracting FDIs. Some of them have achieved notable successes, while the others have achieved less success. Macedonia is a country that during the last two decades, ranks among the countries with smaller number of foreign direct investments. In the beginning of this paper I give a general overview of the meaning, role and importance of for-eign direct investments for economic development of a country. Later I’m analyzing the trend of foreign direct investments in the region, and especially in Macedonia. At the end are sought and given reasons for locking foreign direct investment in Macedonia and recommendations to over-come such a situation.
