In the MA the direct foreign incvestment in Lithuania and the factors influencing them will be analysed. The MA consists of introduction, three chapters including the sub-chapters, conclusion and recommendations. The first chapter includes explicit direct foreign investment investigation (DFI). Following the resources of Lithuanian and foreign scientific writings, the theoretical part of the work, the analyses and discussion of the direct foregn ivestment, its concept and classification is being presented as well as strategies of DFI. The factors of the direct foreign investment into the country are being theoretically proven. The second chapter deals with the applied aspect of the DFI methodology as being presented, and supported. The aspects of the factors of attractiveness to the investors in Lithuania are being analysed. Based on the data of the Department of Statistics of the Republic of Lithuania the direct foreign investment analyses from the retrospective is being presented. The absoliute, percentage index increase and reduce and relative changes are being calculated. Applying the correlation-regressive analyses the link between the direct foreign investment and the gross NATIONAL product (GDP), inflation, scientific research and expremental developement (SRED), the level of unimployment, costs, qualified work labour and economic freesom index is being etablished. The strongest correlation link is being estabshished among the DFI and GDP, costs between the SRED and GDP opness index. The increse in the GDP indicates the growth of the economics in the country which is the key element to repsent the county. The DFI is being involved creating the new job places and increase of the level of the standart of living, the increase of the GDP attracts the higher investment of the DFI. The scientific sources innumerate the SRED as one of the preconditions of the correlation of the analyses of the product and the DFI supports the hypothesis and the conclusion that the more the country invests into the scientific research and develoment of the tecnological background, the better, thus, it is very possible to increase the direct foreign investment (DFI). The calculations being made supports the idea of the importance of the openess of the trade. The index of Lithuanian foreign trade openess has a significant influence on the flows of of DFI in the state and the close links between the direct foreign investment and the index of openess has been established. The third part discusses the economic indicators with the strongest correlation with the direct foreign investment, predicted evaluations and future perspectives. The conclusions are presented at the end of the work. |
