The document summarizes Venezuela's oil industry in the late 1980s/early 1990s and how it struggled due to depleting reserves and poor management. In 1991, Venezuela relaxed regulations and allowed foreign investment and multinational companies to help improve production. This foreign direct investment provided capital, technology, and management skills that helped boost production. However, in the 2000s under President Chavez, Venezuela increased taxes and royalties on foreign oil companies, reducing investment. While this enabled social spending, it also hurt production and Venezuela's reliance on the U.S. as its main oil export market.
Oil Prices have been extremely volatile during the last decade due to extensive speculative pressures on the commodity. in this episode of Energy Risk Management Series we show one of the methods of countering the same.

1) The oil market is historically volatile due to inelastic supply and demand. When shocks occur from either side, large price changes are needed to restore equilibrium.
2) Global oil demand has steadily increased over time and is projected to continue growing, driven largely by developing nations like China and India. However, supply is also growing, led by US shale oil production, keeping prices low.
3) Saudi Arabia aims to regain control of OPEC by forcing compliance through low prices, though others argue it seeks to undermine competitors. Extended low prices could last until supply and demand rebalance.

This document summarizes a study that examined factors affecting foreign direct investment (FDI) flows to Ethiopia from 1990 to 2011. The study used a multiple regression model to analyze the relationship between FDI inflows as a percentage of GDP (the dependent variable) and five independent variables: market size, trade openness, inflation rate, infrastructure, and human capital. Time series data from 1990 to 2011 on these variables was obtained from the World Bank and analyzed. The findings showed that trade openness and inflation rate had a significant impact on FDI flows to Ethiopia, while no clear relationship was found for market size, infrastructure, and human capital.
Why is FDI increasing in the world economy?
Why do firms often prefer FDI to other market entry strategies?
Why do firms imitate competitors with FDI strategies?
Why are certain locations favored for FDI?
How does political ideology affect government FDI policy?
What are key FDI related costs and benefits for receiving and source countries?

Group 1 presented on how South Africa can grow its economy post-apartheid through strategic foreign direct investment (FDI). After providing background on South Africa's history and the end of apartheid, the group discussed how the ANC government pursued more open economic policies and enacted black economic empowerment initiatives. They then outlined challenges facing South Africa's economy related to unemployment, poverty, and infrastructure issues. The group proposed that strategic FDI could help address these challenges by bringing capital, jobs, technology and skills to South Africa while expanding its manufacturing base. Key sectors attracting FDI included automotive, financial services, and telecommunications. South Africa has also invested in other African countries through FDI to take advantage of growth opportunities.
Cemex is the world's largest building materials supplier and third largest cement producer. It has a history of successful domestic operations in Mexico through efficient manufacturing and superior customer service. Cemex pursued foreign direct investment to reduce reliance on the volatile Mexican market and capitalize on demand in developing countries. Cemex's strategy was to acquire inefficient cement companies and create value by transferring its skills in customer service, technology, and production management. However, Cemex faced challenges with its investment in Indonesia, where political pressure blocked its attempt to gain majority control of Semen Gresik despite an initial agreement.
FDI refers to investment made by a company or individual in one country into business interests located in another country, in a way that allows for control of the foreign entity. It typically takes the form of establishing a new subsidiary, acquiring part of an existing foreign company, or starting a joint venture. Foreign direct investment brings investment capital into a country and can facilitate the transfer of technology, but it may also allow multinational corporations to undermine some aspects of economic autonomy and control. In 1991, India introduced foreign investment reforms under the Foreign Exchange Management Act to liberalize and encourage FDI. Over time, India has gradually increased caps and allowed higher levels of foreign ownership across various sectors to attract more international investment.
This document analyzes Chinese and American foreign direct investment (FDI) in Africa. It finds that both countries invest most in mining and extractive industries, but Chinese FDI is more diversified, including 15% in construction. Business tax rates and ease of doing business are significant determinants for both countries, though US investment is more sensitive. US FDI correlates with natural resources and better human rights records, while Chinese FDI correlates with trade openness. Overall, the study finds similarities and differences in the motivations and patterns of Chinese and American FDI in Africa.
Foreign Direct Investment in Developing Countriesadii
This document discusses a conceptual framework for evaluating investments in developing countries. It aims to develop a model that combines existing theories and considers unique qualitative factors that influence an investment's competitive advantage and success. These factors are categorized as political, financial or economic risks. The framework assigns weightings to different risk factors and ranks countries based on the likelihood of each factor occurring. It then calculates a risk premium to compare investment opportunities, using South Africa-based SABMiller's potential investments in Angola and Botswana as a case study.
This document discusses foreign direct investment (FDI), including why it has increased globally, different types of FDI, factors influencing FDI decisions, and costs and benefits of FDI for both host and source countries. Key points covered include that FDI has grown faster than global trade in recent decades due to factors like globalization and economic liberalization. FDI can take various forms like horizontal, vertical, or strategic asset-seeking investments. John Dunning's eclectic paradigm explains FDI decisions as being influenced by ownership, location, and internalization advantages. Governments pursue different policies toward FDI based on ideological views ranging from free market to pragmatic nationalism.
Venezuela has faced significant economic challenges in recent years due to its heavy reliance on the petroleum industry. Foreign direct investment (FDI) in Venezuela has declined dramatically from $2.2 billion in 2016 to just $13 million in 2020 as hyperinflation, US sanctions, and political instability have deterred investors. While Venezuela offers incentives like tax breaks to attract FDI, it continues to face obstacles like an interventionist economic system, weak institutions, and overdependence on oil. Improving infrastructure, education, access to finance, and trade could help Venezuela diversify its economy and attract more sustainable foreign investment.
Paul Young, a CPA and expert in financial solutions, public policy, and supply chain management, presented on the current government policies and economic situation in Venezuela. The Venezuelan economy is struggling due to low oil prices, high inflation (500%), and unemployment (17% predicted to rise to 21% in 2017). The government's policies have discouraged foreign investment and stifled businesses. Venezuela owes billions in debt payments this year but has less than $10 billion in reserves, most in unavailable gold. The economic crisis and government mismanagement have led to widespread poverty and unrest.
Ivo Pezzuto - Venezuela: Crisis in Caracas. The Global Analyst Magazine June ...Dr. Ivo Pezzuto
Venezuela is facing its worst economic crisis in decades due to a collapse in global oil prices, which has severely impacted the oil-dependent country. The crisis has led to shortages of food, medicine and other basic goods. High inflation and currency controls have further exacerbated problems. If oil prices do not rise or the crisis worsens, Venezuela risks defaulting on its debt.
Venezuela has transformed its oil and gas industry with substantial investment following the Gulf War. It increased oil production and now has the largest reserves in Latin America at 50.1 billion barrels. However, the nationalization of the oil industry in 1975 and new economic reforms in 1989 had negative social and political impacts due to high inflation and costs passed to consumers. The reforms have stabilized the economy but weakened old political parties.
Socialism has failed in Venezuela, leading to economic collapse. GDP has sharply declined in recent years due to low oil prices and poor economic policies. Inflation has skyrocketed to over 500% while unemployment has risen to 17%. The government has nationalized foreign businesses while imposing currency controls that have discouraged investment. Growing poverty and unrest have challenged the government's legitimacy as the rule of law breaks down. Canada's trade with Venezuela, once over $1.5 billion annually, has declined as the country's economy deteriorates.

Venezuela's economy has collapsed due to its overdependence on oil, mismanagement, and US sanctions. Hyperinflation has skyrocketed to over 2 million percent, poverty is widespread as shortages of food and medicine grow due to the inability to import necessities. Over 5 million Venezuelans have fled the country due to the humanitarian crisis. While the government has attempted currency reforms and wage increases to address the crisis, inflation continues to rise severely impacting citizens. The international community faces challenges in how to respond, with options including increased humanitarian aid, sanctions against the government, or potentially military intervention.

Venezuela Ranks As One Of The Top Suppliers Of Crude Oil Dvinz Oil & Gas,S.A
Venezuela is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of crude oil. It has
consistently been one of the largest exporters of crude oil in the Americas. As a founding
member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Venezuela is an
important player in the global oil market. While production has been declining, Venezuela
exports of crude oil to the United States have been among the top. In recent years, through
significant upfront investment, an increasing share of Venezuela’s exports have been
delivered to China and India.
In 2012, Venezuela consumed 3.3 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) of total energy. Oil
continues to represent the majority of total energy consumed, while use of natural gas has
increased in the past five years. Hydroelectric power represents less than 25% of total
consumption, and coal represents less than 1%
Venezuela has large oil deposits that provide the majority of its export revenue and government spending. Despite this, most Venezuelans live in poverty. President Hugo Chavez says he is leading a socialist revolution to help the poor through social programs funded by high oil prices. However, the economy is heavily dependent on oil prices staying high, inflation is the highest in Latin America, and the fiscal deficit and trade deficit have increased. There is debate around whether Chavez's time in power has been a success or failure depending on your political viewpoint.

The presentation describes the reason for Venezuela Boliver crisis on a time series basis. year by year the incidents are described and also the steps are taken to resolve the crisis is also told in the slide. The impact of the crisis and the present condition also described briefly.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is a cartel that aims to support higher oil prices through production quotas. After operating quietly in the 1960s, OPEC was able to significantly raise oil prices in the 1970s in response to increased demand and control over half of global oil production. Individual oil-producing nations previously acted as price-takers, but by restricting competition OPEC members gained leverage over oil prices.

Venezuela's economy has collapsed due to its overdependence on oil, mismanagement, and US sanctions. Hyperinflation has skyrocketed to over 2 million percent, poverty is widespread as shortages of food and medicine grow due to the inability to import necessities. Over 5 million Venezuelans have fled the country due to the humanitarian crisis. While the government has attempted currency reforms and wage increases to address the crisis, inflation continues to rise severely impacting citizens. The international community faces challenges in how to respond, with options including increased humanitarian aid, sanctions against the government, or potentially military intervention.

Venezuela Ranks As One Of The Top Suppliers Of Crude Oil Dvinz Oil & Gas,S.A
Venezuela is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of crude oil. It has
consistently been one of the largest exporters of crude oil in the Americas. As a founding
member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Venezuela is an
important player in the global oil market. While production has been declining, Venezuela
exports of crude oil to the United States have been among the top. In recent years, through
significant upfront investment, an increasing share of Venezuela’s exports have been
delivered to China and India.
In 2012, Venezuela consumed 3.3 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) of total energy. Oil
continues to represent the majority of total energy consumed, while use of natural gas has
increased in the past five years. Hydroelectric power represents less than 25% of total
consumption, and coal represents less than 1%
Venezuela has large oil deposits that provide the majority of its export revenue and government spending. Despite this, most Venezuelans live in poverty. President Hugo Chavez says he is leading a socialist revolution to help the poor through social programs funded by high oil prices. However, the economy is heavily dependent on oil prices staying high, inflation is the highest in Latin America, and the fiscal deficit and trade deficit have increased. There is debate around whether Chavez's time in power has been a success or failure depending on your political viewpoint.

The presentation describes the reason for Venezuela Boliver crisis on a time series basis. year by year the incidents are described and also the steps are taken to resolve the crisis is also told in the slide. The impact of the crisis and the present condition also described briefly.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is a cartel that aims to support higher oil prices through production quotas. After operating quietly in the 1960s, OPEC was able to significantly raise oil prices in the 1970s in response to increased demand and control over half of global oil production. Individual oil-producing nations previously acted as price-takers, but by restricting competition OPEC members gained leverage over oil prices.
The document summarizes the impact of falling oil prices on Mexico's economy. Lower oil prices have hurt state-owned oil company Pemex and reduced expected oil revenues, diminishing Mexico's economic growth prospects. However, Mexico remains closely tied to the growing US economy through trade, with the two countries exchanging $1 billion daily. While lower oil prices pose challenges, Mexico may be able to rely on its trade relationship with the US to support its economy.
The document summarizes the history of Venezuela's oil industry from its beginnings in the late 1800s through nationalization in the 1970s. It discusses how oil exploration led to the founding of new towns, economic dependence on oil exports, and social, political, cultural, and economic changes in Venezuela. It also outlines the creation of OPEC in 1960 to regulate oil prices and Venezuela's gradual nationalization of the oil industry through the 1970s.

Venezuela has significant oil, natural gas, and hydroelectric resources. Oil accounts for nearly half of Venezuela's energy consumption and the country has the world's largest oil reserves. Venezuela uses its oil wealth to fund social programs and subsidize domestic gasoline prices. It also exports oil at discounted prices through agreements like Petrocaribe to allies in the Caribbean and Latin America. However, underinvestment in infrastructure and overreliance on hydroelectric dams have led to periodic blackouts. Venezuela is working to diversify its oil exports to Asia while developing its large shale oil and natural gas reserves.
The document discusses a $2.5 billion oil development project in Venezuela called Petrozuata between Conoco and PDVSA, Venezuela's national oil company. They plan to meet with development agencies and credit rating agencies to discuss the proposed financial structure and raise $1.5 billion in debt financing. Petrozuata was formed in 1997 by Conoco and PDVSA to produce heavy oil from a new Venezuelan field and transport it via pipeline to refineries in the US Gulf Coast. The project was estimated to cost $2.425 billion, with Conoco and PDVSA investing $975 million and the remainder financed through debt.
Venezuela is country in Latin America. the country has been facing hyperinflation, crimes, starvation, food shortages and severe socioeconomic and political crisis. there is a geopolitical game played by great powers.

2. Free trade is a wonderful thing for boosting the standard of
living, improving economic growth, providing consumers
with more choices and lowering prices.
Although..... how can a country compete in the global
market in an industry where it is lacking advantages and
production efficiency?
What happens..... if the business is lacking the finance
required to purchase the assets?
What happens..... if the resources required to improve the
business cannot be found in the country?
The above scenario is typically faced by Venezuela’s petroleum
industry in the late 80’s early 90’s
Issues
3. A vibrant successful Venezulian oil industry was suffering
due to depleting oil reserves, lack of technology to find
new oil reserves and poor management practices in
comparison to multinational firms within the industry.
Resulting in:
1. Throughput was lower than standard.
2. Company revenues were below expectations.
3. Employment was stagnating and revenues earned by the
government from the industry were minimal
Prior to 1991 there was no help available to Venezuela’s oil industry as the
Government had effectively forbid overseas investors and MNC’s
assisting the Venezuela’s oil industry.
Scenario
4. In 1991 due to the suffering industry and poor
government revenues from the industry, the government
relaxed the regulations. This meant that the oil industry
was now able to not only seek help but was quickly
attracted to other business and investors who looked as an
opportunity to make some profits by improving the
performance in oil production in Venezuela.
The help we are referring to is of course
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
Golden Step
5. The oil industry in Venezuela (PDVSA*) needed:
1. Capital to finance oil exploration and technology to
learn how to discover new oil reserves.
2. Management skills that would provide the control
required to lead the organisation into the future and also to
increase the throughput by a sustainable billion barrels a
day.
The noted benefits of FDI resulting are:
1. A source of raising finance (i.e. capital)
2. Access to new improved relevant technology and
admission to superior management skills.
3. Increased level of employment and enhanced balance
of payments.

So far so Good
6. Trends in foreign investment in Venezuela have been
influenced by oil and by politics.” Oil and politics, however,
are impossible to separate in Venezuela.
Venezuela's oil riches have long been a curse as well as a
blessing.
The country boasts the largest petroleum reserves outside
the Middle East. For the better part of a century the
commodity has fueled the local economy -- along with the
ambitions of politicians.
President Hugo Chavez, a left-leaning populist who draws
inspiration from independence hero Simon Bolivar, is
reaching deep into PDVSA's coffers to finance a
"democratic revolution" to raise millions of Venezuelans
out of poverty.
Chavez is pumping some $4 billion of PDVSA's windfall
profits into social programs each year.
Oil and politics,
7. Patriotism and Socialism or
Death.”
Since leading a coup in 1992 and achieving his first
electoral victory in 1998, Chávez has gathered support by
using strong nationalist and socialist rhetoric.
He regularly implies that the people own the country’s
wealth, rather than corporations or private investors. The
country’s unofficial motto under Chávez , slapped on
state-owned buildings and countless billboards around the
country, reads: Patria, Socialismo o Muerte, translated as
“Patriotism and Socialism or Death.”
Capitalists from abroad are understandably wary of
bringing their money into the country.

9. At PDVSA's headquarters in Caracas, a mural depicts
Chovez and a child superimposed on an oil well, with the
slogan: "Deepening the Bolivarian Revolution in 2005.“
Courtesy of Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA). Venezuela's
state-run oil company doesn't just pay for schooling. It
foots the bill for a new community health clinic ,free
medicine, and it subsidizes the rice, cooking oil, and other
staples from government-run stores. "It's the first time that
the government has ever done anything with our oil wealth
to benefit the poor,“ people comments
In exchange for access to Venezuelan oil reserves, foreign
companies must pay taxes and royalties to the government.
Deepening the Bolivarian Revolution in 2005."

12. Venezuala Oil and USA
Petroleum: production – 2,300,000 barrels a day
(370,000 m3
), proven conventional reserves – 79.7 billion
barrels (1.267×1010
m3
)
Natural Gas: production – 176 trillion cubic feet
(5,000 km3
) (2010 est), total proven reserves – 4,838 billion
cubic meters (bcm) (2007 est)
Turning petrodollars into good works? Sounds laudable.
But Chavez is also using oil in his bid to turn Venezuela
into a counterweight to U.S. influence in Latin America.
Venezuela, once a dependable American ally, has become a
thorn in Washington's side.
It's also none too thrilled that Chavez is using petrodollars
to outfit his army with Russian-made Kalashnikov rifles,
combat helicopters and MiG fighter jets.
13. Venezuelan crude and US
refineries
Venezuela has little choice but to keep selling most of its
oil to the U.S., where refineries are outfitted to handle
high-sulfur, heavy Venezuelan crude.
But if oil-hungry China builds similar refineries, Chavez
will have a much freer hand in diverting oil from U.S.
customers.
Government Accountability Office of USA to conduct a
study to determine how the U.S. might compensate for a
drop in Venezuelan imports.
14. Oil-guzzling America
Some of this is bluff and bluster. But Chavez knows he has
oil-guzzling America in a corner. The U.S. depends on
Venezuela for 15% of its oil imports, and when a strike at
PDVSA disrupted crude shipments in 2003, American
refineries were left scrambling.
To curb Venezuela's dependence on the U.S., which
absorbs 60% of the country's oil exports, Chavez has been
working to find new markets.
China deal: Venezuela to sell 120,000 barrels a month of
fuel oil to China and is eyeing pipelines that could ferry
larger amounts of crude to Pacific ports.
15. Cuba and Latin America oil
The White House takes a dim view of Caracas' sales of
subsidized oil to Fidel Castro's Cuba.
Ever since the Bush Administration appeared to endorse a
short-lived coup d‘etat against Chavez in 2002, the
Venezuelan leader has accused Washington of trying to
oust him. He warned that George W. Bush plans to have
him assassinated. If that happens, the U.S. will not receive
another drop of Venezuelan oil for a 1,000 years.
16.
17. A STARVING GIANT
The oil industry is controlled by PDVSA, the state-run oil
company, which has full rights to Venezuela’s oil. But
PDVSA has encouraged foreign oil companies to help
extract Venezuela’s most valuable natural resource.
In 1999 PDVSA earned $ 2,4 B as profit and producing oil
3.5 million barrel per day.
Venezuela's chances of making that target depend hugely
on foreign oil companies, which today account for almost
half of total production. The opening of the nation's oil
sector to outside capital 10 years ago has netted some $25
billion in investments, with 22 foreign oil companies now
present in the country.
PDVSA launched another 10 year plan and investment
target $53 B. , with $ 31 B as FDI.
18. International Collaboration
PDVSA has taken particularly active steps to attract
foreign national oil companies, including Cupet
(Cuba), Petronas (Malaysia), CNPC (China), Repsol
(Spain), Petrobras (Brazil), ONGC (India), and
Petropars (Iran). Though these companies are
primary foreign investors in Venezuela, private oil
companies like ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, BP,
Total, and Chevron Texaco have invested large sums
as well.
19. Conspicuous silence
Yet in October, Chávez hiked royalties on major
heavy-crude exploration and refining projects in the
country's Orinoco belt from 1% to 16.66%, arguing
that the hike was justified based on market
conditions.
With the exception of Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM),
which protested the increase and says it wants to
negotiate a better deal, the oil majors have kept quiet.
20. New Tax law
A little new investment has arrived since the passage of
new tax laws in 2000 that raised the costs of oil production
for foreign companies.
The one percent royalty paid by companies to drill for oil
before 2000 became a 16 percent royalty. Additionally,
companies were charged fees that did not exist before,
sometimes paying taxes of up to 30 percent.
Any remaining foreign investment in Venezuelan oil today
is largely left over from contracts agreed upon before the
new tax laws.
21. Further tighteningThe terms on new ventures will be even less favorable --
30% royalties and a 51% stake for PDVSA. That could
dampen enthusiasm for a new round of projects, especially
since the new rules will not be finalized until mid-year.
"We need a legal framework. Sanctity of contracts is key
for us demanded by Foreign investor.
The irony is that Venezuela's need for foreign investment
in its oil industry will probably only increase. "That means
the country will have no choice but to open even further to
private international capital.“
Chávez supporters counter that the old PDVSA was
staffed by overpaid executives who cared little about using
oil profits to improve the lot of poor Venezuelans. "Now
employees are much more conscious of how important the
company is for Venezuela.
22. Petroamerica
Chávez has even more plans for PDVSA. In February
he signed agreements with Brazil that call for
Petrobrás (PBR), the state-run oil company, to help
develop Venezuela's production and refining capacity.
It's part of Chávez' dream of creating "Petroamerica,"
a Latin oil-and-gas giant controlled by the region's
state-run oil companies. It may be far-fetched -- but
it's abundant proof that Chávez' aggressive oil
diplomacy has just begun.
23. Goose and the Golden Egg
A common saying is “Don’t kill the goose that laid the
golden egg.
Hugo Chavez did the same to Venezuela’s Petroleum
Industry.
Chavez reaped short term “profits” for the government, but
in the long run he will have much less money with which to
finance his social programs.
Chavez can only hope for much higher oil prices, or that he
can convince foreign firms to come back and set up shop
after previously stealing their assets. he can continue to
seize assets and dig himself into an even deeper hole.
Chavez has started a downward spiral that can only be
corrected by a massive infusion of cash back into the
industry; cash that he no longer has.
24.
25. Venezuelan's Government attitude towards FDI should be important in
deciding where to locate foreign activities and where to make foreign
direct investment.
Venezuelan Government should note that MNCs are concerned in
investing that have permissive policies towards FDI.
A firm considering FDI in Venezuela should provide an opportunity to
negotiate specific terms (multilateral agreements*) of the investment
with the Government.
* Sets the parameters under which negotiations can proceed to remove impediments to cross border investments
