Abstract: This paper discusses the key issues related to foreign direct investment flows to developing countries in the globalised world. In particular, the paper focuses on the recent trend and direction of foreign direct investment flows to developing countries and the uneven distribution of the flows among the countries. Furthermore, the paper presents some empirical findings (based on country experiences) on why the foreign direct investments are attracted to some countries but not to many others. Finally, the paper concludes with policy implications for enhancing the developing countries’ attractiveness to foreign direct investment.
