    No way US pumps more money in Poland than Germany, unless this is counting all the expenses on their base in Poland as “direct investment”

      I don’t know for the other years, and couldn’t easily find data to conclude, but the article writes that :

      Intel, a chipmaker, picked Poland for a $4.6bn plant

      That’d be 4.6bn out of the ~$7bn on the graph

              Going by what happening with Intel right now, i stronly suspect it’s only empty talk. Though knowing Polish government and its servilism towards America, i wouldn’t be even very surprised if Poland funded 100% of that factory, after all it’s exactly what they were doing in 90’s

                I’ve quickly documented myself on the “polish economic miracle” a few years ago, but only remember that it was linked with millions of polish working in other european countries, as well as important foreign direct investments, you seem knowledgeable so perhaps could you redirect me towards some explanations for this, or take a bit of your time to explain it to me yourself ? I’ve also postponed the understanding for China’s success, this topic of “Why do some countries become wealthy and not others” is among the most interesting possible.
                Also, having never heard of Poland(, or any country for that matter,) funding 100% of a company while leaving the dividends to foreign hands, i’d like to know more about that as well if you have the time and/or a link.

          I.d.k., but even if it was scrapped it’s probably counted in.

          I’ve found this graph here :

          This table here may be a good enough answer ?

            This graph is not related at all, it’s from 2021 and it’s global investments, look at the y axis. Poland would barely be shown there as pixel. And in the other graphs in your link you can see that US investments in Poland were less than Belgian or Swiss or Swedish, and even by the ultimate flow of capital still half of German ones and less than Netherlands.

              Yep, you’re right about the y-axis, i’ve read that too quickly.
              And the other graphs in the pdf seem indeed to confirm that 2023 was an exception :

              I should probably research it a bit more to have a more precise point of view.
