	abstract = {This study aims to identify the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the textile sectors in Poland, Romania,
Hungary, Slovakia, Czechia and Türkiye. The study assesses these criteria through paired comparisons conducted by
experts who have a minimum of 10 years of professional experience in the field and analyses them using the IT2 Fuzzy
Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) technique. According to the findings, the
criteria with the highest degree of importance are national security, inflation rate, patent and trademark protection,
transportation networks and market size. On a country-by-country basis, Poland has a higher investment attraction
potential compared to other countries according to the criteria of openness, corruption, legal regulations and
privatization policies, import and export quotas, education and professional status, renewable energy resources,
sustainability, intellectual property protection, patent and trademark protection and national security. Hungary scores
highest on import and export quotas and tax rates, while Slovakia stands out on import and export quotas and waste
management/environmental regulations. Romania scores highest on profitability and debt financing, labour costs and
import and export quotas. Czechia scores highest on inflation rate, political stability, legal regulations and privatization
policies, economic incentives, general trade policies, import and export quotas and cultural situation and lifestyle.
Türkiye scores the highest in terms of market size, GDP growth rate, access to raw materials and markets, technological
infrastructure and innovation, transport networks, production sites, energy production, import and export quotas and
business-friendly approaches.},
