Abstract:

Today Zimbabwe finds itself on the cusp of a new era, an inflection point which should set the country on a path towards recovery and sustainable economic growth, after years of being in a socio-economic quagmire yet extravagantly endowed with natural resources and extraordinary human capital. This study seeks to examine how best to unlock this untapped and embedded value for the emancipation of Zimbabwe’s people by looking at how other countries have extricated themselves from similar situations by the use of foreign direct investment.

Abstract:

With the increasing importance of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), there have been substantial studies on this issue, both empirically and theoretically. However, most existing studies focus on either the impacts of FDI presence or the determinants of FDI inflows, ignoring the fact that inward FDI and economic development may simultaneously affect each other. This thesis sets out to examine the interactive effects between FDI and economic development. The whole thesis is composed of five chapters. Chapter One is an overall introduction to the thesis.

Using a panel data set spanning from 2005 to 2012 and drawn from 35 Sub-Saharan African countries, this paper examines the relative impact of corruption on the inflow of foreign direct investment.

It is argued in this paper that there is no significant link between the two variables. There did appear to be a negative skew meaning higher levels of perceived corruption resulted in less FDI inflows, while few coun

Abstract:

Foreign direct investment (FDI) has emerged as a major source of external capital for developing countries in Asia, South and Central America and Sub-Saharan Africa. However, Sub-Saharan Africa's share of global FDI compares unfavourably with that garnered by other developing regions in the world. Until recently, South Africa has been the top recipient of FDI inflows among SSA countries as it has benefitted from the relatively stable macroeconomic and political environment.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is a key option for economic growth in most, if not all, developing countries. However, not all developing countries are equally open to foreign investment. Some restrict foreign equity, while others encourage multinational corporations to enter their markets. Because FDI involves outsiders entering national markets and profits, it is very political. FDI can bring economic benefits, such as jobs and new technology, but it may also entail economic costs, such as increased competition for national businesses. FDI may also bring political costs, as governments that

While the NOIP on the macro level has been negative throughout the last two decades, there is considerable variation on the industry and the bilateral level. Given the small domestic market size, the NOIP of Austria does not reflect the high level of development in terms of GDP. Several explanations for the below-a

However, this research suggests that even though there exists strong correlation between the existence of reserves of raw materials and FDI distribution, such motivation is not the only one.

Bibliography: leaves 305-324.<br>The thesis examines the theory of the determinants and welfare impact of foreign direct investment on host countries, concluding that resource transfer effects are not necessarily beneficial in certain circumstances. The distribution and penetration of foreign direct investment in the South African economy is analysed in the context of the debate about dependency and the role of technology in economic development. It is concluded that given the small amounts of fixed capital actually transferred to South Africa and the negative basic transfer which has occurred

Abstract:

Developing local SMEs will lead to sustainable economic growth, as well as the empowerment of communities. In addition, extensive literature over the years have proven that FDI does not lead to economic development and that it is in the best interest of a country to have an international trade friendly policy. The South African government has a mandate to lessen unemployment by 6% by 2030 as part of their National Development Planning (NDP) Vision 2030. This study seeks to discover the impact of FDI on developing SMEs in South Africa. Literature has supported the notion that SME development le

Abstract:

It is customary to postulate that International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreements or arrangements in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) will facilitate foreign capital investments or FDI inflows from multinational corporations and or foreign investors. Through empirical observations, and using a two-stage modelling technique, this research tested and examined this hypothesis. It empirically showed that SSA countries that had IMF interventions for the period 1980 to 2015 attracted FDI inflows into their economies. The study rebutted the claim that countries with previous IMF interventions were likely to app

Abstract:

<p>This thesis employed a panel data of 36 countries from sub-Saharan Africa over the period 1996-2000 to examine the impact of governance on foreign direct investment flows. Within the governance variable there are six sub-indices which are the rule of law, political stability, control of corruption, voice and accountability, government effectiveness, and regulatory quality. The estimates show that political stability, regulatory quality and accountability have a positive impact on foreign direct investment, while corruption, government ineffectiveness, and lack of rule of law do not affect f

Abstract:

This thesis identified the deficiencies in Sri Lankan foreign investment laws in creating a reliable nexus between foreign direct investment and sustainable development. It first determined the criteria for a balanced investment law using the lens of sustainable development and the principles of environmental law. It examined the relevant Sri Lankan laws, bilateral investment treaties, model laws and approaches of different actors, considering these criteria, to assess their ability to promote sustainable development in pursuit of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. It demonstrated th
