Summary/Abstract: The paper presents some of the issues related to evaluating economic effectiveness of Polish Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) projects. The analysis focuses in particular on comparing risk measurement and methods of economic evaluation of investment effectiveness applied by Polish companies depending on the level of their internationalisation. The paper is based on the results of a survey conducted under research project No. N N112 322338 entitled “Investment Activity of Polish Enterprises Abroad – Factors and Effects”. Among the reasons justifying the need to carry out the research is the growing impact of Polish investment on global capital flows expressed in the rising value of Polish direct investment, as well as in the growing number of foreign projects implemented. Therefore, the paper presents – apart from the above-mentioned – selected data describing this phenomenon. As a result, the scale and structure of Polish FDI is presented in terms of value, as well as quantity.
