Overview: A bi-directional relationship between FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) and economic reforms in ten Central European countries is tested, along with the role of the EU in breaking a potential vicious circle of insecurity, little investment, slow reforms, low prospects of EU (European Union) membership and hence high insecurity. Using panel data regressions and a system of simultaneous equations, evidence is found that the prospect of EU membership has enhanced FDI in the less reformist candidates and that trade integration and increased EU financial assistance have improved FDI in the CEECs.
