Poland has remained the most attractive transition country for foreign investors since the start of economic reform, though investment has been sunk primarily into those voivodships possessing abundant supplies of highly qualified, skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled labour and which have the capacity to expand output and stimulate foreign trade (Tiusanen, 2006). These results are supported by research carried out by Domanski, who identified that foreign capital is largely concentrated in metropolitan centres (Domanski, 2003). However, while past research rightly identifies the exclusion of the eastern voivodships from the bulk of foreign trade and investment opportunities, membership of the EU, linking Poland to investment funds for infrastructure and industrial development is beginning to positively influence rates of growth in GDP capita and labour productivity.
