Abstract
This paper contains the main results from a work-in-progress research on the impact of three selected services sector FDI on various host country characteristics in the case of the four Visegrad countries. FDI in three service sectors: financial services, ICT-related services and business services are analysed, which differ in terms of their predominant horizontal or vertical nature. We found both the employment effect and export effect being significant only in the case of the predominantly vertical business services FDI. Furthermore, we analysed the impact of financial FDI on the economy, which we found significant for GFCF with considerable country differences especially after the crisis.
