Investopedia defines foreign direct investment (FDI) as any investment that a company or entity based in one country makes into a company or entity based in another country. FDIs differ significantly from indirect foreign investments, such as portfolio flows, which involve the purchase of equities that are listed on a nation's stock exchange. 

Investors who choose the FDI approach are often able to exert a substantial amount of influence upon and control over the companies into which they invest. They can also receive a range of lucrative tax incentives.

From the point of view of the company that receives direct overseas investment, the FDI approach carries with it a number of possible benefits including increased productivity and easier transfer of foreign goods and resources. In general, FDI can stimulate economic development and increase employment rates in the country of the company targeted for investment.

Foreign Direct Investment in Southeast Asia

9/25/2014

 
Business leader, Harvey Goldstein, has extensive experience working in Indonesia. Today, Harvey Goldstein draws on his international business experience in Indonesia to provide consulting expertise on matters such as foreign direct investment (FDI).

Foreign direct investment entails investment in a company in a given country by a company or individual from another country. Often, FDI is the top source of external funding for developing economies. Furthermore, FDI recipients may attain benefits such as job creation and the influx of technical knowledge.

Southeast Asia has benefited from increased foreign investment in recent years. In fact, during 2013, FDI in five Southeast Asian nations outpaced FDI in China for the first time. The five nations (Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand), which are collectively known as the ASEAN-5, received more than $125 billion in foreign investment in 2013. During that period, FDI in China dropped by 2.9 percent to less than $120 billion. At the same time, China has grown to be the third largest foreign investor in the world, with much of its investment directed to the nearby Southeast Asian economies.
