Appraisal of Foreign Direct Investments in the Czech Republic (The Case of French Foreign Investments)

All the countries going through the process of transformation consider foreign investments to be one of the basic conditions of a swift and successful implementation of economic reforms. Foreign investments bring in capital necessary for the modernisation and restructuring of enterprises. They also bring new technologies, enable the creation of new job opportunities, facilitate the transfer of managerial know-how and, in some cases, open up access to new markets. The Czech Republic, as all the other post-communist countries, endeavours to encourage the inflow of foreign capital.
