The study population includes enterprises from FBiH that originatedfrom realization of foreign direct investments in the scope larger than BAM 10 million over the period 2009-2012. The evaluation of FDI effects has been conducting in a six-year period after the investment (2013-2018). The study was conducted through comparison of eight different financial indicators in 30 enterprisesfrom FBiH, which have foreign capital in their structure. The comparison was conducted with same financialindicators expressed as averages of economic activities groups (AEAG), to which those enterprises belong.Testing set hypotheses was conducted through Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test which represents an adequatenon-parameter statistical method of comparison of two dependent samples. The study results show that thefollowing hypotheses have been proven, with 5% risk: enterprises with FDI statistically significantly realizehigher values of intangible assets, business assets, business income, income from selling effect on foreignmarkets, higher profit from business activities, as well as higher average number of employees based onwork hours, in comparison to AEAG in which they belong. However, the following hypothesis is rejected:enterprises with FDI realize a lower loss from business activities than the average of economic activitiesgroups in which they belong. Also, hypothesis that enterprises with FDI realize higher sales income onforeign markets requires conduction of additional test to prove it. The study results offer insight into effectsthat FDI have on certain financial indicators in FBiH enterprises.
