To encourage the Polish regions which were the most affected by the transition, 14 Special Economic Zones were established, which provide special incentives for business, e.g. tax exemptions. The above analyses enable the following conclusions: -Twelve years after the date when Special Economic Zones were established they are developed in 70%, and the gaps between the most and the least developed Zones are quite big. Investors prefer Zones that have been allocated on the south and south-west border of Poland; -In 2005 nearly 80% of the capital invested in SEZs was foreign origin, coming mainly (66%) from three countries: the United States, Germany and Japan, but investors from EU member countries represent the most numerous group; -The dominant companies in the Zones comprised the companies representing the motor industry sector which accounted for over 40% of the total investment in the SEZs. According to the estimates, appropriate economic transformation in Poland and keeping a 5% economic growth rate in Poland require approx. USD 10 billion of annual FDI inflow7. For this reason, creating a good, stable climate and favorable conditions for foreign investments is particularly important, all the more so that the competition among new EU member states is really strong. However, it must be remembered that success in attracting foreign investment is not just the result of simply declared readiness to accept foreign capital, but is accomplished through a combination of political, economic and social factors, which combined are the basis for an evaluation the host country's investment attractiveness. Still, it should be stressed that the foreign capital invested in SEZs constitutes only about 7% of the total FDI inward stock in Poland in 2005.
