Abstract: Abstract The miraculous economic growth of the South-East Asian economies in the last decade cannot be considered in isolation from the active foreign direct investment (FDI) into this region, and the resulting changes in the pattern of trade. The South-East Asian countries started growing rapidly after they changed their policy stance from protectionist import substitution policies to more liberal attitudes to capital inflow and a policy orientated towards exports. The changes in their trade positions have coincided with very active foreign direct investment from some countries such as Japan.
