The relationship between these two macroeconomic variables is analysed for Poland for the period between 2005 and 2016. The author discusses the structure, dynamics and drivers behind the competitiveness of Polish economy based on the methodology of the World Economic Forum. The conclusions are drawn from an investigation of over 270 rank correlations. Several statistically significant relationships were identified for the variables, suggesting that certain causal links in both directions between FDI inflows and competitiveness existed. The concluding remarks consist of several recommendations for the policymakers.
