The paper deals with the features of German transnational corporations’ investment activity within the last decade. The period of active foreign direct investing during 2004–2007 and the period of FDI decline due to the global economic and financial crisis are distinguished. The sectoral and regional structures of German TNCs’ investments are analyzed as well. The special accent is made on the issue of investment attractiveness of Central and Eastern Europe, especially Ukraine, for the German TNCs. It was revealed that stability and predictability of the situation in the country and main features of its market are more important for German corporations when choosing the host country, than regulatory restrictions on foreign direct investment. This is a very important issue for the FDI attraction into Ukrainian economy. Keywords: TNCs, FDI, international capital flows, regulatory restrictions, Central and Eastern Europe, Ukraine.

Recent two decades witnessed unprecedented changes in the economies of Central and Eastern Europe. Accelerated economic growth following systemic transformations, globalisation and liberalisation and EU integration visibly intensified international capital flows, including foreign direct investment (FDI). Intense internationalisation of an economy is usually perceived as a positive process, which – in general – gives an opportunity to accelerate growth and strengthen competitiveness. Therefore the authorities of an economy try to support FDI flows by implementing different incentives. The main goal of the chapter is to show the scale and scope of outward foreign direct investments (OFDI) of Polish companies in the light of economic transformation experience and authorities support. The chapter is organized as follows: first it presents Poland's path from centrally planned state to developed, competitive economy. Secondly, the focus is laid on support offered to companies undertaking OFDI ventures and finally on the scale and scope of Poland's outward investments.
