These are slides from a revision presentation covering aspects of Extract 3 for the OCR F585 June 2016 Global economy paper. The presentation focuses on progress in human development in Zambia, volatile copper prices and the terms and trade and the issue of whether Zambia is experiencing a natural resource curse.
China’s growth and appetite for foreign direct investment (FDI) has made Africa its largest investment destination, according to a new report written by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) for leading global law firm, Mayer Brown. The report, “Playing the Long Game: China’s Investment in Africa”, finds that whilst energy and mineral resources have attracted the most Chinese FDI, investments and activities that support Africa’s physical infrastructure is underestimated.
Exploring the opportunities and challenges facing Chinese investors in Africa, the report highlights increased African trade, more direct investment and a surge in export credit financing as the primary drivers of China’s current economic policy towards Africa and looks at the diversity and success of projects that have been financed. It also documents the perception of Chinese investment in Africa and the unique political, cultural and legal challenges of realising projects across such a diverse range of countries.
The theoretical and empirical relationship between foreign trade and economic growth has extensively been discussed in economics in recent years. There has been a long held belief about the positive correlation between these two variables. In spite of this countless study, the link has been proven to be empirically weak. In view of this, the aim of this dissertation is to empirically examine the relationship between trade and growth. Using trade openness and ordinary least sequence was employed to estimate the impact of foreign trade on Gross domestic product.

Foreign Direct Investment and Development of Manufacturing Sector in Nigeria ...inventionjournals
This study is centered on foreign direct investment and development of manufacturing sector from 1990-2014. Political unrest, epileptic power supply, militancy of Niger Delta region, unstable exchange rate and insurgency of the North east of Nigeria was identified as the hindrances to manufacturing sector. The work is anchored on mercantilist trade theory of Jean baptiste Colbert and Thomas hobbes. Secondary data was sourced from Central bank of Nigeria Statistical bulletin, CBN occasional paper number 32 on the dynamics of inflation in Nigeria. Diagnostic survey research pattern was applied for this study. Data obtained were analyzed using an ordinary least square method by the use of time series and seasonal variations. The results shows that FDI is growth enhancing and it equips and stabilizes exchange rate and reduces dependency on imported finished products, enhances profitability thus leads to survival of manufacturing sector. Recommendations include; policy makers should realize the essence of stable exchange rate so as to drive maximum benefit from investment. Government expenditure should encourage and promote investment to boost the manufacturing industries
Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment in Nigeriaijtsrd
Extant literature is replete with the benefit of attracting Foreign Direct Investment FDI into an economy, it not only provides developing countries with the much needed capital for investment it also enhances job creation, managerial skills as well as transfer of technology. However, attracting and sustaining FDI inflow in Nigeria have remained a teething problem. This study therefore examined the determinants of foreign direct investment in Nigeria. Specifically the study provides empirical evidence on the influence trade openness, market size, infrastructure, human capital, labour force, natural resources, exchange rate and inflation rate on Foreign Direct Investment FDI in Nigeria using an econometric regression technique of the Ordinary least square OLS . The findings of the study also show that trade openness, market size, infrastructure, exchange rate and inflation rate are statistically significant in explaining the foreign direct investment in Nigeria while human capital, labour force and natural resources are statistically insignificant in explaining the growth of foreign direct investment in Nigeria. The study recommends that The government should make polices that will create a business friendly environment to attract FDI inflows in economy. The government should provide the needed leadership and also ensure political stability in the country. This will attract investors to take the advantage of the market size of the country to FDI into the economy. The government should make policies that will favour trade openness. Trade openness is found to be factor that attracts investors invest in the country. This is lesser barriers to trade encourages investment and the government should provide the needed infrastructure. Necessary infrastructures that will reduce the cost of doing business should be the watch word of every government.

Chinese investment in Spain topped 600 million euros in 2014, according to an ESADE study.
According to this report, 93.8% of Chinese direct investment in Spain since 2000, some €1.662 billion, occurred in the 2012-2014 period. Of that amount, €610 million was invested in 2014, 49% more than in 2013. Moreover, by the end of the year, total investment in 2015 could be even higher, as a result of various major transactions recorded over the last six months in the real estate/hotel and agribusiness industries.
