Overview of Foreign Direct Investment

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
the experience of those such as Singapore that have won official designation as "mature" have demonstrated that the fastest route to that achievement likely will be influx of foreign direct  investment (FDI). As capital has become so easy to move across political borders, FDI has come to be characterized as that type of foreign investment in a nation that  is less mobile (Beresford, 2000). Those nations receiving it seek more; those not receiving FDI actively court the worlds wealthier nations to invite  them to come for business. The effect of FDI is that it stimulates economies to a greater degree than they could be affected without it. It can generally  be seen as being a good thing, but it does have its detractors, as well. Overview  Beresford (2000) writes of the situation in South Africa, where individual savings rates are lower than the government would like to see. Were citizens to save more of  their money, there would be more on deposit with financial institutions and therefore available for lending. Among the implications of South Africans not saving greater portions of their income  is that one in which there is not sufficient capital available to fund the industrial initiatives that could create jobs and further stimulate the economy with the wage effect.  A single new job does not affect only the worker filling it. His wages are redistributed to the local community in the form of prices paid for goods and  services, a portion of it is paid to the national government in the form of taxes, and the results of his work contribute to the growth of the national economy.
