The true benefits of the foreign direct investment (FDI) have often been questioned. It is known that in the short run FDI can lead to unemployment and a crowding out effect, and in the long run to an increase in foreign borrowing. However, FDI can also lead to an increase in real economy growth through positive spill-overs of technology and know-how, as well as stimulate productivity. This work will examine the advantages and disadvantages of FDI, and use the EBRD project in St. Petersburg as an example. The work concludes that the true benefits of the existing FDI and future FDI will depend on the amount of restructuring that the Russian government will enforce.
