The world economic crisis, which began in 2008, affected negatively not only national economies but also the intensity of international movements of goods, services, and production factors. This article focuses on the impact of the last economic crisis on the FDI inflows into Poland. It is aimed at answering the research question whether the economic performance of Poland and its main economic partners affect the FDI inflows into Poland, which fell sharply in 2008 and also slightly decreased in 2009. Despite the increases in the FDI inflows during 2010–2011, they did not achieve the level from 2007. Additionally, the vulnerability of the FDI inflows into Poland to economic performance in Poland (host economy) and its main investment partners (home economies) is confirmed by Granger-causalitytests. According to them, in the case of Poland, there is a one-waycausality link between the growth in realGDPand the FDI inflows (case of growth-driven FDI).

The controversy surrounding the actual impact of institutional quality and economic openness on economic growth is among the motivating factors for this study. The study seeks to investi- gate this relationship in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) by using the panel autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) test with annual series covering the period from 2000 to 2020. Findings indicate that in the short-run, regulatory quality and FDI outflows had an adverse impact on the economic performance of the ECOWAS bloc. Furthermore, the long-run results show that trade openness, political stability and FDI outflows had an adverse impact on the economy of the bloc, while regulatory quality positively affected the economy. Consequently, the paper recommends that member countries in the ECOWAS bloc should put in place effective regulatory framework in the short and medium term to attract FDI inflows, while building a strong and stable political environment in the long term.
