CEE countries have attracted significant foreign direct investment in greenfield operations in recent years. Many manufacturing businesses have focused on expanding capacity in CEE countries, sometimes at the expense of Western Europe.

This ninth edition of our Guide to Greenfield Investment in Central and Eastern Europe (“CEE”) provides up-to-date information on issues that investors should be aware of when investing in leading countries in the region, namely Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Türkiye and Ukraine.

In particular, the guide provides up-to-date and accurate information on the incentives available in each country and the commitments that investors need to make in order to obtain them. For EU countries, we also evaluate local implementation of the new Temporary Crisis Transitional Framework and look at how investors can avail themselves of the opportunities offered by this.

It also includes information on the process for entering into an investment agreement to access funds, and covers the key real estate, competition, infrastructure, tax and employment considerations.
