| | Foreign direct investment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Greenfield investment: direct investment in new facilities or the expansion of existing facilities. | | | 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. |

| | Thus because transaction costs increase the costs of direct investment, foreign investors should be averse to investing in countries with higher transaction costs, and will therefore gravitate toward states with more effective or efficient legal regimes. | | | The annual flow of foreign investment to the transition economies reached $5 billion in 1993 and increased to $11 billion in 1995 and $19 billion in 1997, well before the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development had granted many of these countries higher scores on its legal reform scale. | | | Serious foreign investors, largely multinational firms, play a vital role in training and educating individuals and in developing a cadre of citizens who understand and accept those practices and concepts that are critical to creating a civil society and respect the rule of law. |

| | Foreign direct investment has positioned Ireland as a significant participant in a global business environment, at a level well beyond that which might be expected in a country of similar population size or natural resource base. | | | Their policy of absolute tolerance for foreigners employed in their industry, pays the required dividends to the national economy due to the snowball effect of "full" employment and the normal expenditure by these foreign nationals in sustaining their standard of living. | | | The level of US foreign direct investment could be regarded as a weakness in terms of exposure, but the Irish regard it as a source of strength, as the US has been particularly focussed over the last twenty years in generating new technologies and new companies. |

| | Understanding Foreign Direct Investment |
| | Foreign direct investment, in its classic definition, is defined as a company from one country making a physical investment into building a factory in another country. | | | The sea change in trade and investment policies and the regulatory environment globally in the past decade, including trade policy and tariff liberalization, easing of restrictions on foreign investment and acquisition in many nations, and the deregulation and privitazation of many industries, has probably been been the most significant catalyst for FDI’s expanded role. | | | Proponents of foreign investment point out that the exchange of investment flows benefits both the home country (the country from which the investment originates) and the host country (the destination of the investment). |

| | The best measures to attract foreign direct investment, and to ensure that FDI in an economy is productive, are to ensure that local populations are well educated, that macroeconomic policies are sound, and that the domestic legal system is fair and effective. | | | Likewise, they find that most government-mandated performance requirements on foreign direct investors (local content requirements, requirements that local affiliates export a minimum percentage of their output, etc.) are unlikely to enhance local economic benefits and may have globally distortive effects. | | | It is important to note that this figure represents only the equity of direct investors in their investments, i.e., the equity held by multinational corporations (MNCs) in their foreign affiliates. |
