In this report, we focus on the prospects of attracting more foreign investors to the Three Seas region from the U.S., UK, Germany, Japan, South Korea, the Nordics and the problematic case of China. We also identify the key barriers that stand in the way of attracting more funds for investments and propose solutions on how to overcome them.
The Three Seas region, located between the Adriatic, Baltic and Black seas, is a region with significant infrastructural needs, but inadequate financial resources to address them. Therefore it needs to bring in the funds from elsewhere, ideally as an investment. However, despite the three decades of accelerated economic growth it still attracts only a portion of direct foreign investment poured into richer Western Europe.
By combining characteristics of emerging and developed markets, the Three Seas region offers investors relatively high yet safe rates of return from their assets
The authors of the report described the investment interests of each country, identified key barriers that stand in the way of attracting more funds for investments and provided recommendations to be implemented either on the regional level or individually by each country.
