Buitenlandse investeringen en economische groei

economische aanraders, Buitenlandse investeringen

Buitenlandse investeringen zijn niet alleen van belang voor een bedrijf dat die ontvangt, maar ook voor de gemeenschap waar dat bedrijf in is gevestigd.

It’s not only the company which receives foreign investment that benefits. Sebnem Kalemli-Özcan’s recent research reveals that FDI is beneficial for the aggregate growth of the domestic economy as well — as long as the country has strong institutions and well-developed financial markets. “If you’re an investor, you want to make sure you are in an environment where you can function. This is very important in the sense that countries that want to attract FDI should really think about strengthening their institutional environment. If you look at the worldwide allocation of FDI among emerging markets right now, it will be in markets that have done a lot of structural reforms.”
