On the basis of the data presented one may state that production- type
investments prevailed (almost 40%), although financial, trade and logistic investments
were also significant while investments in activity which was not very profitable
(agriculture) or had a long term of return of capital invested (mining) were relatively
small. The majority of investments consisted of expensive acquisitions or constructions,
above 1 m USD, while the smaller ones amounted to 4.5% only of the total expenditures.

Within foreign investments there was a positive phenomenon. Initially they
concerned almost exclusively the acquisition of privatised entities and in recent years
new, greenfield investments have been playing an ever greater part. For example in 2002
their share in total investments amounted to 37%, in 2004 - 51% and in 2005 as much as
58% [Liczba (
Numbe r ) ... 2006]. The number of work places created by foreign investors
grew as well (almost 5 thousand in 2004).

Within production investments most money was allotted to the manufacture of
means of transport (mainly the automotive industry) and to the food industry. We
present the share of the latter in production investments in figure 3.
