The chapter presents information on foreign direct investment. Foreign direct investment represents foreign direct investment positions on a specific date that reflect the real situation of foreign direct investment at the end of the period.
Foreign direct investment is such an investment on the basis of which long-term economic financial relations and interests are built between a foreign direct investor and a direct investment company. 10 per cent of voting rights is recognised as the lowest limit under which a foreign direct investor has a possibility to participate in the management of the direct investment company. Foreign investment lower than 10 per cent of voting rights is attributed to investment portfolio instead of direct investment.
