Not only developing countries and transition economies perceive the entry of foreign investors, and the inflow of capital, know -how and other tangible and intangible assets as a catalyst for economic development. Therefore, many countries have liberalized access to foreign capital even conscious of certain negative effects on domestic enterprises trying to attract foreign investors. The host countries after some time analyse the contribution and influence of foreign entities in the domestic economy and assesses whether the resulting effects rather negative or positive, and also how foreign entities are operating in the domestic territory. This article, however, deals with a somewhat different type of analysis, it focuses on the assessment of the functioning and prosperity of foreign-owned entities in the Czech Republic compared with domestic entities in selected sectors. The analysis is focused on the development of return on equity (ROE) and gross domestic product (GDP) of industries. The data from the Financial analyzes of the corporate sector for the years 2004 - 2011 published by the Ministry of Industry and Trade was used to analyze. It was the annual data (including GDP) in five sectors: mining, manufacturing, energy, construction and services.
