The first part is consisted of macroeconomic data on FDI in Western Balkan countries, expected FDI in the region based on forecast function. The second part shows competitiveness of two Macedonian clusters. According to the Macedonian Investment Agency, automotive and food processing industry are considered as a high competitive on a regional level and industries with high potential to attract Foreign Direct Investments (FDI). For this purpose, I have build a match-making matrix of this two clusters, based on an article and methodology proposed by: S. Young, N. Hood and A.
