Foreign direct investment helps in accelerating the rate of economic growth of host country Discuss and also explain the limitations of foreign direct investment?
Foreign direct investment may threaten local industries: As foreign companies put money into a nation and buy its companies and even bring in some of their own offices, local governments may feel a loss of economic power as all of it will be consolidated in the hands of foreign companies. Foreign companies may also drive less profitable local companies out of businesses and hurt national (not foreign) industry. As a result, many developing nations put strict limitations on the amounts of foreign direct investment in their nations. The above answer is correct - this supplemental answer expands on this principle. Foreign national companies are foreign owned. While that sounds obvious, it has subtle but important implications on the governance and operation of the company. 1. Profit In the free economy, companies exist to make profit. A wholly owned subsidiary of another company has a business obligation to generate profit for its parent company. Profit is transferred from the subsidiary company to the parent company through earnings and dividends. Locally owned companies keep their profit in the local economy - that means that the profit stays in the country, and thereby creates wealth within the local economy. A subsidiary of a foreign national company returns some of its profit to its foreign-owned parent company. This profit leaves the country, and therefore less wealth accumulates in the local economy. To use a crude analogy, it is akin to owning a house, where you accumulate wealth through the equity you accrue, compared to renting a house, where all your payments go to someone else. The house accumulates wealth whether you own or rent it, but if you rent the house, it is not your wealth - someone else is accumulating that wealth. Similarly, when a foreign national owns a local company, that foreign parent company accumulates the wealth generated from the profits of the local company, and that wealth is not available to the local economy. 2. SovereigntySome countries, such as the United States of America (USA), have laws that restrict certain activities of subsidiary companies. For example, the 1992 Cuban Democracy Act of the USA forbids all USA companies, and their subsidiaries (no matter where they operate) from trading with Cuba. Under USA law, therefore, it is illegal for a USA owned subsidiary that operates in Canada to trade with Cuba, even though there are no laws in Canada restricting such trade. While Canadian companies - even USA owned Canadian companies - can not be brought before a USA court, there have been cases in which the USA parent company, or its employees, have been prosecuted in the USA because its subsidiary company in Canada traded with Cuba (See http://www.csmonitor.com/2002/0426/p06s01-woam.htm). Therefore, foreign owned subsidiary companies may be forbidden by their parent companies to engage in such activities, even though these activities are completely legal in the subsidiary company's country. There is an argument that this foreign national control is tantamount to the erosion of the sovereignty. 3. Asymmetric InvestmentCompanies need investments of capital, resources, and knowledge. Foreign investment typically refers only to capital investment - money. A foreign national company will invest only as much knowledge it needs to in order to operate the subsidiary. A foreign car manufacturer, for example, may open a subsidiary manufacturing plant in your country, but it will continue to design and develop new lines of automobiles in its foreign parent company. The workers in the local subsidiary do not gain the benefit of working in the highly skilled occupations found in the foreign parent company. This creates a potential for a second class economy, in which the local economy must be satisfied with less skilled work than the foreign parent company.
