The region possesses strengths in sectors like energy, mining, and food that could benefit from growing trade with countries whose middle classes will demand resources to develop infrastructure. However, Atlantic Canada currently relies too heavily on trade with the U.S. and too few companies are internationally oriented. The region requires a coordinated strategy across public and private sectors to select champion industries and expand trade, especially to emerging economies in Asia, Latin America, and elsewhere.

The aim of this dissertation is discussion and critical analysis of foreign investment laws in Saudi Arabia.
Foreign investment has a very complicated history since it was first introduced by the oil companies of western
developed countries. The history of investment in the oil industry through concession agreement, the
establishment of the ARAMCO, the effects of the government to indigenise the industry together with the shift
of power and control over the natural resources of the country led to a change in the perception of foreign
investment in Saudi Arabia and the Arab world.

following sections:
Firstly, it sets out the background of KSA and its relation with the WTO. In addition it sheds light on the
reasons for investment in Saudi Arabia and the increased willingness of foreign companies to invest in KSA.
Secondly, it discusses the law which governs KSA: Islamic Shari'a Law. This section also considers how
consistent Shari'a Law is with international law as well as examining the judicial structure in KSA and its
effectiveness.
Thereafter, the study examines the history of FDI as well as legislative history in KSA.
The following section, considers the most important features of the new foreign investment laws in KSA with
particular focus on the Foreign Investment Act and its rules and laws together with other relevant laws. It also
considers the negative aspects of foreign investment.
The next section examines the resolutions of foreign investment disputes in KSA through litigation and
arbitration after giving a brief description about litigation in KSA together with KSA's attitude towards
arbitration.

Multinational corporations (MNCs) operate in more than one country other than their home country. They have a central head office in their home country and secondary offices, facilities, factories, and other assets in other countries. MNCs are characterized by huge assets and turnover from global operations, international operations through networks of branches and subsidiaries, unity of control from the parent company, and employing advanced technology and professional management across borders. Some benefits of MNCs include promoting economic development, transferring technology, and assisting industrial and export growth in host countries, while some criticisms are that they may prioritize their own profits over host countries and create artificial demand through advertising.
The document summarizes key trends in real estate investment across Asia Pacific in 2017 based on survey responses.

The report also notes the large and continuing flow of capital outbound from Asia, especially from China and potentially Japan in the future, in search of investment opportunities abroad.
Unit 4 international business 6th semester bbm notes pdfIndependent
This document provides an overview of key concepts related to international business, including multinational corporations, foreign collaborations, joint ventures, and franchising. It defines multinational corporations as companies that have operations in multiple countries. Foreign collaborations are strategic alliances between resident and non-resident entities, often requiring government approval. Joint ventures involve two or more companies partnering on a specific project by sharing resources and profits. Franchising grants a franchisee the legal right to use a brand's trademarks and business model in exchange for fees and adherence to the franchiser's operating methods.
Crowdfunding is the act of many people contributing money to a project in exchange for a good or service, with the goal of expanding and democratizing access to capital.

It is one element of the larger "crowdeconomy", which also includes sharing platforms like Uber and peer-to-peer lending sites. Those seeking funds through crowdfunding should select a platform, propose their idea with details, communicate with supporters, and potentially partner with local governments for matching funds.

The opening case describes how China Mobile overcame financing constraints in Hong Kong's relatively small capital market by raising $8.24 billion through a simultaneous international offering of equity and bonds listed on exchanges in Hong Kong, New York, and elsewhere. By tapping into global capital markets, China Mobile was able to raise more funds than planned and lower its cost of capital. As regulatory barriers between markets have fallen, an increasingly integrated global capital market allows companies to diversify their financing sources internationally. This benefits both borrowers through greater availability of funds at lower costs, and investors through opportunities to diversify risk across economies and industries.

Given today's ease of sharing information worldwide, it has become easier than ever to export to markets on the same continent or land thousands of miles away. However, the variety of markets that exist means not all countries provide ideal conditions for your product or service. A business must choose its export market(s) carefully by gathering relevant and accurate information, speaking with trade experts, and performing a country-level risk assessment. This presentation was originally given on Feb. 8, 2018 to founders of tech ventures based in Seattle's eastern suburbs who are seeking business opportunities in markets abroad.

ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
James Gerraty has been the Australian Securities Exchange's Manager of Listings in Melbourne since 200. ASX is one of the world's 10 top listed stock exchange groups, the listings unit of which ensures that the ASX provides fair, orderly and transparent markets.
This presentation, given at the Fortune Forum 2015 Australian Summit, covers capital raising in equity markets, corporate governance, periodic and continuous disclosure, and more.
The document discusses the growth of stock exchanges around the world over the past few decades. It notes that in 1988 stock exchanges existed in 63 countries, but by 2005 that number had grown to 145 countries, representing 92% of the global population and 99% of global GDP. This growth has created opportunities for exchange operators to expand into new markets and for investors to diversify internationally. However, many of the newer exchanges are still immature with limited trading and foreign investment. As these markets continue developing, they have the potential to increase global liquidity and wealth.
The document discusses several Australian infrastructure companies, noting that infrastructure assets typically generate reliable earnings through essential services with limited competition. It highlights four preferred companies: APA Group owns and operates natural gas pipelines; Qube Holdings is involved in transport and logistics, including a major new intermodal terminal; Sydney Airport operates Kingsford Smith airport and benefits from passenger and retail growth; and Transurban operates toll roads including opportunities from Sydney's growing infrastructure needs. The document argues these companies offer attractive, stable income streams through long-term concessions on essential assets.
The document discusses a Mudaraba-based working capital facility structure commonly used by commercial banks. In a Mudaraba, a Rab al-Mal provides capital to a Mudarib manager who invests it. Profits are shared according to a pre-agreed ratio while capital losses are borne solely by the Rab al-Mal. The facility allows banks to fix financing costs and rates of return in advance through incentive mechanisms while still complying with Mudaraba rules by assessing profit ex post. The accompanying agreement incorporates provisions to prevent moral hazards like underreporting profits.

competitive business sector, Australia now ranks as the 14th largest economy in the world (measured by GDP), and the 4th largest in the
Asia Pacific region.
The ASX’s international standing is reflected in the fact that Australia’s three largest trading partners – China, Japan and the United States
- are also the three largest economies in the world; and its two largest investment partners - the US and UK – are home to the world’s
largest capital markets.
Such solid trade and investment relations have helped see real economic growth average 3.0% per annum over the past decade,
positioning Australia as one of the stronger performers among developed countries during the period.
Australia is also home to a well-developed, innovative and highly-regarded financial services sector and capital market, which includes:
• An equity market, the ASX, with over 2200 listed companies, which is the 8th largest in the world (based on free-float market
capitalization), with A$1.3 trillion market capitalization and average daily secondary trading of over A$5 billion a day.
• Australia boasts the largest pool of funds under management in the Asia-Pacific region, and the 4th largest in the world.
Spurred by its healthy political and economic position, Australia has become an attractive investment destination for global investors.
With a diverse investor group comprised of 40% foreign investors, 40% domestic institutional investors and 20% retail investors, the
Australian equity market is well placed in the global economy.
