In order to detect specifics of development of main economic activities, differences in structure of FDI and structure of GDP of host economy are being juxtaposed, FDI intensity indicator in main economic activities elaborated. Authors test if different levels of penetration of foreign capital into certain economic activities serve as important factor affecting their economic growth.
