World Investment Report 2008, Unctad
The 'World Investment Report 2008' discusses record global foreign direct investment (FDI) flows in 2007, which reached $1.833 trillion, marking a significant growth driven by economic performance and corporate profits, especially in developing countries. The report highlights the increasing involvement of transnational corporations (TNCs) in infrastructure development, addressing the unmet investment needs in developing nations while also emphasizing challenges related to governance and investment disputes. Despite these gains, a forthcoming decline in FDI due to the global financial crisis is anticipated, with calls for enhanced international cooperation to mitigate risks and support development.
