AN ANALYSIS ON THE FDI FLOWS FROM EMERGING ECONOMIES TO EUROPE AND THEIR IMPACT

After a concise setting of the context (by emphasizing on the FDI flows dynamics at the beginning of the 21st century through the lens of: annual inward and outward FDI flows between 2001 and 2013; annual contribution to IFDI flows and, respectively, to OFDI flows by group of countries – developed versus developing and transition ones), the paper analyzes the emerging market economies and the dynamics of their FDI flows (by using contextualization and comparisons). The main aspects targeted are: the dynamics of the outward FDI flows from EMEs comparative to the dynamics of the global outward FDI flows on annual basis, and the evolution of the specific weight of OFDI flows from EMEs in global OFDI flows; the differences between the IFDI and OFDI flows in developed Europe, on one hand, and the IFDI and OFDI flows in EEMEs, on the other hand; the evolution of the OFDI flows from EMEs to developed Europe (based on the data that the UNCTAD's Bilateral FDI Statistics firstly released in 2014).
