The analysis of factors, barriers and conditions that affect the attractiveness of mining investment in Poland - own research

Abstract

The mining sector is one of the most important elements of economies in the world, having a huge impact on the economic situation in individual countries. An economy’s development at any level would be impossible without access to the most important energy resources, chemicals, metals or construction materials. Therefore, the condition and the possibility of the development of the mining sector in each country should be constantly monitored and properly shaped. On the other hand, to ensure the proper stimulation of growth and the inflow of new capital, investments are necessary. Consequently, an appropriate level of investment attractiveness is an important issue both in the context of the sector and the entire economy. The article presents the concept of investment attractiveness and the current situation of the mining sector in Poland. The paper’s results are based on a survey of factors, barriers and conditions that affect the attractiveness of mining investment in Poland.
