This paper aims to explore the pattern of foreign direct investment (FDI) between Poland and Germany. It focuses on the bilateral aspects of the Investment Development Path (IDP) which so far seems to have been a rather neglected research area. Evolution along the IDP has been, with some exceptions, studied mainly globally without differentiating between partner countries. The conducted analysis sheds light on mutual Polish-German investment relations by putting them in the context of the IDP concept. The obtained findings can be supportive in formulating policy guidelines.
