Foreign direct investment (FDI) occurs when a firm directly invests in facilities in another country. FDI can be for production, marketing, services, R&D, or accessing raw materials. A firm engaging in FDI becomes a multinational enterprise. Key issues around FDI include why firms choose it over alternatives, what makes locations attractive, and the costs and benefits from the perspective of host and source countries. While FDI can benefit countries through jobs and investment, it also poses risks like loss of economic independence. Governments establish policies to restrict or encourage FDI based on these considerations. Overall, the document discusses the concept of FDI, factors influencing it, and perspectives of different stakeholders.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) in India has played an important role in the development of the Indian economy. FDI in India has - in a lot of ways - enabled India to achieve a certain degree of financial stability, growth and development. This money has allowed India to focus on the areas that may have needed economic attention, and address the various problems that continue to challenge the country.

‘FDI’ means investment by non-resident entity/person resident outside India in the capital of an Indian company as per FEMA Regulations.
Investments can be made by non-residents in the equity shares/ fully, compulsorily and mandatorily convertible debentures/ fully, compulsorily and mandatorily convertible preference shares of an Indian company, through the Automatic Route or the Government Route. Under the Automatic Route, the non-resident investor or the Indian company does not require any approval from Government of India for the investment. Under the Government Route, prior approval of the Government of India is required. Proposals for foreign investment under Government route are considered by FIPB.
Foreign direct investment in the Med countries in 2008: Facing the crisisSamir Abdelkrim
Foreign direct investment (FDI) directed towards Med countries has been on a downward trend since 2007. In 2008, the 13 countries from the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean monitored by ANIMA started to be hit by the global financial and economic crisis: they received a little less than EUR 40 billion in announced FDI over 2008 (-35%). The total number of detected projects (778) only dropped by 6%. Many of these projects however are either scaled down or cancelled. After few years of skyrocketing Gulf investments, European companies have become once again the largest investors in the region.
There remain, however, good reasons for hope. For a sizeable number of companies still, European or not, the Mediterranean appears as a solution, a possible recourse in terms of market, cost control or partnerships. In Ancient Greek, the word κρίσις, or crisis, means the ‘time for decision’. This is the great industrial challenge of the Euro-Mediterranean region: finding, in those troubled times, an original mode of economic cooperation which will benefit the two shores of the Mediterranean over the long run.

4. Foreign Direct Investment
Foreign direct investment (FDI) happens when a firm invests directly in facilities in a foreign
country
A firm that engages in FDI becomes a multinational enterprise (MNE)
Multinational = “more than one country”
Factors which influence FDI are related to factors that stimulate trade across national borders
Involves ownership of entity abroad for
Production
Marketing/service
R&D
Raw materials or other resource access
Parent has direct managerial control
The degree of direct managerial control depends on the extent of ownership of the
foreign entity and on other contractual terms of the FDI
No managerial involvement = portfolio investment
5. Key Issues
Why is FDI increasing?
Why do firms choose FDI over exporting or licensing to enter a
foreign market?
Why are certain locations attractive for FDI?
How does political ideology influence government policy over
FDI?
From a host or source country perspective, what are FDI’s costs
and benefits?
How can governments restrict/encourage FDI?
