The study concludes that foreign direct investment is an important component of economic development and ferrous metallurgy. The positive eff ect of foreign direct investment is for large metallurgical enterprises, which have a larger share of foreign capital. The presented provisions and the conclusions of the work can be applied to the management of metallurgical holdings for the purpose of theoretical foundation of corporate development programs, as well as to the regional authority of executive power to identify ways of increasing the investment attractiveness of the region.
