Abstract: Abstract Broadly defined, foreign direct investment (FDI) is the establishment or purchase by residents of one country of a substantial ownership and management share of a business or real property in another country. Most FDI is made by multinational companies as a way to secure the supply of inputs for the parent company and, above all, as an alternative for exports from the home country.
