According to a recent report from Latvia, a new study on the investment environment in Europe shows that in 2013, the number of foreign investment projects in the Baltic States was as follows: Latvia - 29 projects, a year-on-year increase of 3 times (in 2012, there were 7 projects), creating 1614 new jobs; Estonia - 31 projects, providing 500 new jobs; Lithuania - 33 projects, bringing 1265 new jobs.
Investigators believe that the growth in investment in Latvia last year was due to long-term stable economic policies and the overall recovery of the European economy. Latvia has joined the Eurozone this year and is likely to maintain a positive growth trend, provided that the situation in Ukraine does not worsen, as this would negatively impact the entire Baltic region.
The above research findings are based on statistical data and the results of a survey conducted with over 800 business leaders worldwide.
