No DP2003-01, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: The paper presents a comprehensive survey of the 'shopping list' of sources of external finance that are directly channeled to the business sector of developing countries. Generally, our analytical survey covers the 1970-2000 period, and includes the distribution of foreign resources classified according to the different income-based and geographical breakdown of developing countries. We examine aggregate net resource flows in the form of the saving-investment gap and current account surplus in the balance-of-payments of developed countries.
