Unlocking the Potential: How FDI Policies Can Transform Developing Countries
The article discusses how foreign direct investment (FDI) affects development in different sectors like extractive, infrastructure, manufacturing, and services. FDI is not a one-size-fits-all concept and has varying impacts on countries. Previous studies that combined all FDI types led to unreliable results. The author suggests that each type of FDI should be analyzed separately to understand its specific effects on host countries. By doing so, the benefits of FDI can be maximized, and potential harms can be minimized.
