Opportunities to Foreign Investment in Kosovo 2. CHAPTER TWO - Foreign Investments In chapter two will be discussed the current FDI trends in the world economy, foreign investments in the Balkans region in the period 2005-2010 and foreign investments in Kosovo. 2.1 Current FDI trends in the world economy 3 According to UNCTAD "World Investment Global Report 2011" foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows rose modestly in 2010, following the large declines of 2008 and 2009. At $1.24 trillion in 2010, they were 5 per cent higher than a year before (figure 2.1.). This moderate growth was mainly the result of higher flows to developing countries, which together with transition economies - for the first time - absorbed more than half of FDI flows.
