Efekti stranih direktnih ulaganja iz južnih zemalja u Bosni i Hercegovini
Effects of the Foreign Direct Investments from the Southern Countries in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary/Abstract: Foreign direct investments (FDI) in the world flow mostly from developed countries to developing ones. Recently, a new direction has been observed in this pattern, since ever-increasing resources are being directed towards the developed countries, the EU and European countries, the United States of America (USA) and Japan. Effects of FDI from the developing countries to Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) are analyzed in this paper, with the aim of creating the empirical basis for re-examining the existing and predominantly theoretical knowledge, which could be useful for decision-makers in B&H and other stakeholders. In this paper, a macroeconomic analysis is used for primary and secondary data of the total FDI in B&H in the period 1995-2010, with a special emphasis on southern multinational corporations. Expected results would confirm or question some embedded attitudes towards FDI in general, and FDI from southern countries, in particular. The results will shed some light on specific aspects of FDI and provide policy hints for reforms in order to achieve more favourable macroeconomic effects of FDI on the economy of B&H.
