| | NATO Colloquium 1997: Foreign Direct Investment in Slovenia: Trends, Experiences and Policy |
 | | The proximity of Slovenia to the EU as the nearest pole of the Triade (EU, USA, Japan) and the traditionally strong economic cooperation of Slovenia with Germany, Austria, Italy and France (2) are the reasons for the domination of investors from these countries. |
 | | Slovenia's privatisation policy and the submitted privatisation programs of enterprises clearly demonstrate that foreign acquisitions will be restricted only until the end of the first, "formal" phase of privatisation (distribution through the use of ownership certificates and internal buy-out at considerable discounts). |
 | | In evaluating FDI, Slovenia is not so much interested in the direct performance of foreign subsidiaries as such, but primarily in their impact on the development of indigenous capabilities of all sorts and in the restructuring and upgrading of Slovenia's dynamic comparative advantages. |
