ENForeign direct investment (FDI) is generally perceived as a source of benefit for host countries. Foreign capital helps to reduce the equity gap in the host country. Expected FDI effects cause countries to compete with each other in terms of creating favorable conditions for investors. Despite the increasing attractiveness of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) as a location for foreign investment, the countries in the region are significantly different in terms of attracting FDI. The aim of the article is to present the process of FDI inflow to Lithuania compared with the inflow of this type of investment to CEE countries. In addition to the same scale influx there will also be examined its regional and sector structure. The article uses a statistical and comparative analysis.
