| | Thus, between 1990 and 2002, the value of total inward FDI stock in electricity, gas and water rose from an estimated $10 billion to $144 trillion (mainly due to a large increase in FDI in electric power generation and distribution). | | | Global foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in 2004 are estimated to have risen by 6% to $612 billion, according to UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) data released on January 11, 2005. | | | Indeed, UNCTAD´s Inward FDI Performance Index, a measure of a country´s attractiveness to FDI, shows that such economies as the Czech Republic; Hong Kong, China; and Ireland continued to attract significant investment even during the FDI recession. |

| | FDI, on the other hand, makes a significant contribution: for every 10 percentage points rise in the ratio of FDI stock to the economy, GDP rises 4 percent. | | | Thus, while the available evidence points to greater growth benefits from FDI and portfolio capital, time series data shows that bank lending is more volatile than other forms of capital flow (see table 3). | | | The contribution of portfolio investment is about half as great (2 percent increase in GDP for every 10 percentage points increase in portfolio investment as a ratio of GDP). |

| | As a result, the economy converges to a steady state with a superior technology and a greater capital stock. | | | In contrast, this Paper claims that the very existence of such spillovers may require temporarily restricting and taxing inward FDI. | | | Our argument in favor of gradual liberalization is based on two stylized features of spillovers: first, technology transfers - and subsequent spillovers - are limited by the economy's absorptive capacity; and second, spillovers take time to materialize. |

| | UNCTAD expects FDI inflows to increase in some developed countries this year, but flows to the developed countries as a group are not likely to exceed 2002 levels. | | | A continuing slowdown in corporate investment caused by weak economic conditions and reduced profit prospects, a pause in consolidation in some industries and declining stock prices were the major factors behind the decline, which occurred in parallel with, and largely in the form of, a drop in cross-border M&As. | | | Large drops in inflows of equity due to reduced cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&As) and a fall in intra-company loans were behind the reduction in inflows in major host countries. |

| | Foreign Direct Investment in France n° 64 A |
| | When balance-sheet stocks are available, the Bank of France computes, for each investee enterprise, the book value of the FDI prorated by the share held by each direct investor in the enterprise (if that share is equal to at least 10% of the total stock). | | | The regulation stipulates that the “non-financial enterprises” and “financial enterprises (banks and insurance companies)” institutional sectors should be divided into three sub-sectors: enterprises controlled by the public sector, foreign-controlled enterprises, and enterprises controlled by the national private sector. | | | These data are gathered under the Bank of France’s terms of reference as defined in the August 4, 1993, Act, whose Article 16 entrusts the Bank with the task of preparing the French balance of payments and external position for the central government. |

| | In 1995, there were 6.322 foreign companies in Brazil, and the stock of FDI was of US$ 42 billion, of which Iberian countries were responsible for meagre 0,84% of this total. | | | As Iberian countries adopted the Euro as their national currency, they were doing nothing much different from Argentina in adopting a foreign currency, a “hard currency” (the dollar) as her national currency. | | | There is plenty of trade diversion in favor of the “small” country to the detriment of the “large” country in customs unions between countries of different size, and in the presence of less than free trade with the rest of the world. |

| | Foreign direct investment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Foreign direct investment (FDI) is the movement of capital across national frontiers in a manner that grants the investor control over the acquired asset. | | | Unlike greenfield investment, acquisitions provide no long term benefits to the local economy-- even in most deals the owners of the local firm are paid in stock from the acquiring firm, meaning that the money from the sale could never reach the local economy. | | | Greenfield investment: direct investment in new facilities or the expansion of existing facilities. |

| | Foreign Direct Investment |
| | Among the forms of foreign equity, foreign portfolio investments in local stock markets by mutual funds and other institutional investors differ from foreign direct investments (FDI), typically by multinational corporations that consciously combine equity ownership with managerial control. | | | Foreign debt must be distinguished from foreign equity. | | | And of course private lenders must be distinguished from official lenders, which can be multilateral institutions or individual foreign governments. |

| | Within the overall growth of external debt during the 1990s in Latin America, growing shares of public debt were held directly and indirectly by non-residents; additionally, the sharp rise in FDI and portfolio equity inflows increased foreign-exchange claims on the current account in the form of profit and dividend remittances to foreign investors. | | | The difference in reducing the flow of external debt (a reduction of the interest rate) and in a stock reduction may appear to be a semantic one, at a first glance. | | | Fiscal policies are not only limited by high public debt service due to tightened monetary policy that increase the amount of deflation needed to attain the required improvement in the fiscal (and external) accounts, and the negative impact of austerity on internal demand and investment prospects, as analyzed above. |
