2.  Harvey Goldstein’s vast experience has
contributed extensively to the business
communities within Asia, especially
Indonesia. He continues to promote
growth in the developing world, and is
an expert in countless areas, including
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).

3.  FDI in countries such as Indonesia,
Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and the
Philippines has soared in recent years. These
nations, which are the largest economies in
Southeast Asia, received $128.4 billion from
foreign investors in 2013, an increase of 7
percent from 2012. Conversely, FDI within
China dropped 2.9 percent in 2013. China’s
population is quickly aging, largely due to
years of planned birth policies.

4.  Furthermore, as the country becomes
wealthier, its role in outgoing foreign
investment increases; in fact, in 2012, it
became the world’s third-biggest investor,
after the United States and Japan. For these
reasons, Southeast Asian countries provide
comparatively attractive demographics
and wages for multinational corporations.
