2
Introduction
  • Foreign direct investment is one of the most
    essential tools for growing the economy of a
    country.
  • There are so many countries that struggle to
    attract foreign investors .
  • This is because of the important roles that they
    play in building the economy.

3
Reasons Why Foreign Direct Investment is Important
  • It can provide substitute products and increase
    supply of top products in a country through
    imports.
  • It creates employment for the locals
  • Enhances development of local infrastructure
  • It enables locals to access products that are not
    produced within the country.
  • There are a number of factors that affect foreign
    direct investment in different countries. These
    include

4
Government regulations and policies on investment
  • Policies determine the amount of foreign direct
    investment that a country receives.
  • Policies that favor the local investors more than
    the foreign investors can discourage foreign
    direct investment within its markets.
  • Tax regulations can also encourage or discourage
    foreign investors.
  • Double taxation for instance often reduces the
    number of foreign investors in a country.

5
Availability of raw materials and trade
facilitation instruments
  • Raw materials attract more investors into the
    country.
  • A country endowed with raw materials helps
    investors reduce costs of production.
  • This is one of the reasons why many investors
    have recently flocked in African countries.
  • FDI is also affected by availability of trade
    facilitation instruments such as proper
    infrastructure.

6
Availability of Appropriate Human Resources
  • The human resources in a country can determine
    whether or not investors flock the country.
  • High numbers of skilled and educated personnel
    available are key.
  • They will attract companies in need of skilled
    human resources.
  • Companies which are more labor intensive will
    often flood poor countries with high populations.
  • This is because of the vast availability of
    cheap labor.

7
Economic Growth of a Country
  • A country that progresses economically tends to
    attract more foreign direct investment .
  • This is because economic growth boosts investor
    confidence.
  • Countries with high rates of economic growth also
    tend to have many consumers .
  • Consumers have economic muscle and can thus
    afford to purchase manufactured goods.
  • The opposite is true for countries undergoing
    recession.
  • This reduces spending amongst consumers.

8
Political Stability and Security of a Country
  • This also determine the amount of foreign direct
    investment that a country attracts.
  • This provides secure systems and environments for
    more foreign investors.
  • Insecurity issues and political instability
    attract fewer investors in a country.

9
Cost and Ease of Doing Business
  • The cost of production is a very important factor
    in attracting foreign direct investment.
  • The ease of starting and running a business is
    important.
  • It will influence the decisions of foreign
    investors to venture into specific foreign
    markets.
  • The Ease of Doing Business Index is normally used
    to rank the ability of countries to facilitate
    and expedite opportunities for the investors.
