QUESTION 1
a) Analyse the concept of foreign capital investment flows, unpacking the different types of foreign
investment.
ANSWER:
Analysis of Foreign Capital Investment Flows and Types:
Foreign capital investment flows refer to the movement of funds from one country (the source) to
another (the recipient or host country) for the purpose of investment. These flows can take various
forms:
1. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI): FDI involves a foreign entity (individual or corporation) making a
long-term investment in a business or asset in a host country, typically with significant ownership
and control. FDI can be in the form of equity investments (buying shares in a company), reinvested
earnings, or the establishment of new subsidiaries or branches.
2. Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI): FPI consists of investments in financial assets such as stocks and
bonds of a foreign company or government. Unlike FDI, FPI usually does not involve direct control or
management of the invested entity.
3. Official Development Assistance (ODA): ODA represents financial aid provided by governments or
international organizations to support economic development and reduce poverty in recipient
countries. It is usually in the form of grants or concessional loans.
4. Foreign Aid and Grants: This category includes various forms of financial assistance provided by
foreign governments, NGOs, or international institutions for purposes other than pure economic
investment, such as humanitarian aid or capacity-building projects.
