| The publication presents an analysis of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows in the Asia and Pacific region. It examines the sectors that have attracted FDI flows, and the potential sectors for future FDI inflows. It identifies the countries and the types of corporations from which FDI has originated, and analyzes the performance of industrializing economies (NIEs) and some countries of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN). Empirical and theoretical findings of the study indicate that variations of the host country variables can explain the vast majority of the variation in FDI inflows. The study presents the role of growth-promoting economic policies and those which contribute to macroeconomic stability in positively affecting the level of FDI flows. Country studies include China, Hong Kong China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore. |
