This project is one that I am very proud of and here is what Professor Cox had to say about the project, "Team, you did an OUTSTANDING job on this assignment on Malta. You are the first group to select this country, so I learned a lot. Putting the Maltese National Anthem in there was very creative (and also a first!).

Reasons Why it is Beneficial to Invest in Republic of Kosovonakije.kida
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in
economic development through the development of the country that has the potential sectors. The
effect of technology in these sectors had risen sector and area that until then had remained neglected.
The paper investigates the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) in economic growth using
detailed sectoral FDI in Kosovo during the period 2000-2013. Sectors considered are: Agribusiness,
Tourism, forestry, services, manufacturing, mining, energy, construction, wholesale and retail trade,
hotels and restaurants, transport, telecommunications and other sectors. The negative effect of
extractive industries in creating income and environmental pollution in Kosovo is not surprising. FDI
in manufacturing industries by stimulating exports generate more income. FDI are likely to repatriate
their profits but are likely to increase employment. To ensure legal protection for foreign investors,
have signed an agreement with the Agency Multilateral Investment Guarantee (MIGA), the avoidance
of double taxation, taxes are the lowest in Europe. Investment Promotion Agency of Kosovo (IPAK),
the level of government makes the promotion of Kosovo. As a developing country taking the time
information is more difficult but efforts in this direction are great.

Boosting Business in the Mediterranean: Entrepreneurs' Success StoriesSamir Abdelkrim
Entrepreneurs are leading the way in bringing the northern and southern rims of the Mediterranean closer together, a collection of business success stories shows. The collection was compiled by the European Investment Bank, European Commission and ANIMA Investment Network (1) and will be presented to EU and Mediterranean finance ministers meeting in Brussels tomorrow. It shows that cooperation in the region is already an economic, social and human reality.
In a joint statement, EIB Vice President Philippe de Fontaine Vive, European Commission Industry Commissioner Günter Verheugen and European External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner said: “In these times of economic uncertainty, cooperation between Europe and the Mediterranean is more important than ever. With a population of around 750 million, the Euro-Mediterranean market could help both sides face competition from other regions in the world, but trade and investment flows need encouraging. The European Neighbourhood Policy and Union for the Mediterranean aim to deepen and strengthen those ties by providing a political and financial framework for cooperation.”
The initiative for the brochure was taken by Mr Fontaine de Vive at a meeting of Euro-Mediterranean industry ministers last November where it became apparent that successful private sector investments were little known outside the countries in which they had been made. The stories featured were chosen from among hundreds with the aim of reflecting the variety of economic sectors involved and the broadest possible representation of countries involved in the Union for the Mediterranean.
