The deregulation of Polish market, as the Soviet Union was coming to an end, opened up an opportunity for capital flows to enter the country. There are a number of factors that attract capital into a country, such as high interest rates, stable economic policy, stable exchange rate, low inflation etc. However, the amount of capital may not be the most important factor, when the quality is low. The essay primarily looks at the economic factors that attracted capital into Poland, and then identifies the difference between hot money and FDI. It is argued that hot money does not bring long term benefits to the country, as it has an ability to leave quickly, possibly even causing financial crises. The impact of Polish EU membership is also considered. The essay is supported by numerous graphs and quotes from well known economists.

This work identifies the strength of the relationship between FDI and economic growth in Russia. Russia went through a transitional process in the 1990s from a centrally planned economy to a market economy. The country is full of natural resources and skilled labour, which should have made it a "golden egg" for the investors. However, although the FDI amounts were high in absolute terms, relative to other transitional economies Russia has attracted very little FDI. Moreover, the work finds that FDI has concentrated in only a few regions within the country, which managed to prosper during the transition. This work discusses the theoretical implications of FDI, its use within the country, possible advantages and disadvantages. The theoretic work is then linked in to the emerging markets economies and the importance of the FDI is identified. Literature review analyses the statistical implications of FDI on the Russian economy through: regional diversification of the investments, effects on employment, balance of payments, real income, production levels, efficiency of enterprises etc. The work is then complemented by detailed primary research, whereby the interviewees give their own opinions on the effect that FDI has had on the Russian economic growth. The conclusions are derived from the analysis of primary research and literature review.

The present paper discusses the key factors that attract foreign companies to enter East European countries. The current statistics shows that the major FDI flows are accounted for Hungary, Czech and Poland, whereas the statistics of Russian and Ukraine share of overall inflow of FDI does not show very impressive figures. Relying on various theoretical frameworks of FDI determinants the paper evaluates the most important factors which have determined the success of one country and have become potential impediments for inbound FDI in the other. The paper seeks to develop "contingent" framework, implying for using different theories rather focusing on a single one. This approach is based on the assumption that macroeconomic, political, legal, social and technological processes of these countries were of heterogeneous nature and resulted in different outcomes. The magnitude of various factors involved in the establishment of the investment climate creates a complex phenomenon, which can hardly be covered by a single theory. That is why the writer is going to apply both PEST and Porters' diamond model in combination with various theories in attempt to identify the determinants of inbound FDI trends in these countries.

The paper discusses the pros and cons of the EMU and the Euro.
The report started with the history of EMU.
One of the first issues to be raised by a 'euro-sceptic' is likely to be the loss of national sovereignty. The national currency has long been a symbol of a country's independence, often proudly bearing the head of a king, queen, president or other well known figure on coins and notes. The role which political union plays in EMU has been hotly debated. Some argue that EMU is as much about political integration as it is monetary integration, while others maintain that the two are completely separate issues. The reality is more likely to be somewhere in between.
Although the potential loss of sovereignty is perhaps the most commonly quoted negative aspect arising from the implementation of the euro, there are also a number of reasonably strong economic arguments which support the case against a single currency. One of the main benefits of EMU that is usually quoted in most literature is the reduction to transaction costs.

Conclusion: Because Argentina has been the IMF's "poster-child for development" over the last 10 plus years the IMF can ill afford to let their economy collapse even more than it already has and instead they must do their best to save it and bring back some appearance of prosperity or else face an even more tarnished image than it already has. "Knowing that the IMF will come to its rescue time and again, the Argentine government has little incentive to reform. And thus the charade continues." (Rodriguez)
