Foreign Direct Investment Chapter 6 FDI is an investment that is made to acquire a lasting interest in an enterprise operating in an economy other than that of the investor and the purpose is to have a voice in the management. (flow and stock of FDI) Portfolio investment occurs when investors buy stocks of foreign firms in search of profit opportunities.

Types of Foreign Direct Investment Horizontal FDI: investment in the same industry abroad due to: market imperfections; exporting/licensing not appropriate transportation costs follow competitors location specific advantages (transplant) Vertical FDI: backward investment into suppliers for production or forward investment using outputs of a firm’s production due to: interest in increasing market power by limiting competition and strengthening local market control

Where To Live Economist 1/7/94

Political Risk Political risk is the likelihood that a business’ foreign investment will be constrained by a host government’s policies. Of particular concern are 3rd world countries or doing business with gov’ts that have discouraged FDI in the past. Political climate can change quickly; safe investments can become high risk (Kuwait)
