Determinants of FDI Flows to Developing Economies: Evidence from Malaysia

In: Foreign Investment in Developing Countries

Author

  • Zubair Hasan

Abstract

Private foreign investment flows have emerged as the single largest source of external finance for developing countries in recent decades. These flows broadly take two forms. First is the foreign direct investment (FDI) that multinational corporations bring in to establish production units or undertake specific projects in the host country independently or in collaboration with the local entrepreneurs. FDI entails not only a transfer of resources but also the acquiring of control. The investor aims at securing a lasting interest and an active role in the company of the host country (IMF, 1993).
