Nowadays the world's economy is in a constantly change. Foreign direct investments flows are one of the most dynamic and prospective part of the world's economy. The main goal of this study is to underline the evolution of the FDI flows and FDI stock in Romania, based on the results of an econometrical method, to see the correlation that exists between FDI and economical growth and to determine if by stimulating the foreign direct investments, we will increase the GDP level. The last part of our goal will be achieved by a comparison with Poland. Through this paper, we tried to analyze the foreign direct investments flows and stock in Romania and in Poland, during 1991 - 2009, variables correlated with GDP per capita, one of the most important macroeconomic indicators. This study is based on UNCTAD statistics and on an econometrical model which gives us the possibility to create different analysis concerning FDI flows and stock in this country. So we defined a multiple regression model, in which the dependent variable is represented by Nominal and real GDP, total and per capita, variable explicated by FDI flows and FDI stock, using as method the Least Squared, including 19 observations.
