Foreign direct investment (FDI) has become the prime engine to
foster growth and to facilitate the restructuring and
internationalization of formerly sheltered areas during the 1980s.
This book deals with future prospects for FDI and provides answers
to some critical questions at the beginning of the 1990s: Will the
unprecedented high rate of growth of FDI in the 1980s continue for
the rest of the twentieth century and beyond? If so, which will be
the major recipient countries, source countries and sectors
involved in these transactions? The general approach of each
chapter is to review the factors that prompted the expansion of FDI
during the 1980s. Their value as driving forces in the future is
then assessed together with some new factors. The book contains
nine chapters. The first four deal with general issues such as:
Will the restrictions on capital flows be reimposed? What are the
prospects for the world economy? Which ingredients will shape the
global competition for investment? What are the likely patterns of
FDI to emerge in the next decade? The remaining five chapters are
devoted to special issues such as: How will increased instability
in the financial system influence trade and FDI? What role in
future FDI will merger and acquisition (M&A) activities play?
What influence will the emerging market economies have on the
global distribution of FDI? Will the Japanese continue to be the
major foreign direct investors in the future? Will FDI from small
and medium-sized firms gain momentum as they become more exposed to
international competition and as their customers get increasingly
involved in FDI?
