Summary/Abstract: The research aim of the article was to identify regional differences in inflows of foreign direct investment with other indicators. Applied method was the comparison of FDI, along with selected socio-economic indicators of districts in the Czech Republic and monitoring of their correlation dependence. From the perspective of the regional level, foreign direct investments are concentrated unevenly, metropolitan regions strongly dominate over other regions. Foreign direct investments are concentrated in regions with higher economic level or more urbanized. These trends are reflected in the long term and support the growth of regional differences between metropolitan areas and other parts of the country, particularly in relation to the rural areas and peripheral territory.
