Annotation
Foreign firms have clearly become more active in their operations in the transition economies (TEs) since the mid-1990s. According to the UNCTAD (2001), the foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow to all TEs was USD 7 billion in 1994, whereas six years later the FDI inflow exceeded USD 25 billion. By the beginning of 2001, the FDI inward stock in the former centrally planned economies amounted to over USD 150 billion.
