This 15th edition of the WIIW-WIFO database on foreign direct investment (FDI) contains 2002 data for the Central and East European countries (CEECs) and the former Soviet Union (FSU). It also makes a forecast for the year 2003 based on the balance of payments of the first quarter of the year and press reports about projects in the pipeline. For the first time, basic data are calculated also in Euro. New tables inform about FDI outflows and outward FDI stocks. A brief analysis of current FDI trends in CEECs is provided. Special attention is devoted to Austrian direct investments in the region.
