Abstract
Foreign direct investment is one of the most important forms of international capital flow. Developed countries
play a key role in capital flows, mainly as investors but also as beneficiaries. From the long-term
perspective, the cyclic nature of investment flows in the global economy has been confirmed; however, over
the past ten years, the participation of developed countries in FDI inflows has been declining, whereas at
the same time the participation of developing countries has increased. In view of the above, this paper aims
to highlight foreign direct investment importance and trends in the regional and sectoral structure in the
developing countries, in particular the countries of Southeast Europe.
