Abstract: Abstract Chapter 1 presented the theory and empirics of FDI, serving as an introduction to the conceptualization of the establishment of commercial banking operations in foreign markets. Undoubtedly, the literature on FDI is rich; however, most of it has concentrated on the manufacturing sector.1 In more recent times, services have become an increasingly important component in the international transactions of manufacturing MNEs, through the multiplication of activities such as outsourcing, vertical integration, and financial transactions. Advances to conceptualize and accommodate these trends into the existing theoretical frameworks have been made by several scholars, despite the difficulty of observing these “embedded” service activities.2
