Chinese investments abroad have recorded high growth rates in the last decade, but its scope is still small in comparison to those of developed industrial countries. The state plays a key role in its encouragement and support directly and indirectly. Large state corporations are the biggest investors abroad, somewhere investments of Chinese private companies dominate, e.g. in Africa. There is a great geographic dispersion of investment flows, while the highest concentration is in developing countries. The main drivers of investment capital are trade, energy sources, natural resources, infrastructure projects and acquisition of strategic assets. These drivers are often are combined from two or more ones which are mutually supportive.

Private Foreign Investment

This contribution discusses the development of private foreign investment in late colonial Indonesia. The increase in numbers of individual firms, their expanding volume and accumulation of investment in the Netherlands Indies are shown. The focus is on the years 1910-1940 and on Dutch foreign investment, although investment by other countries is touched upon in passing. The data used for this article originate from a database compiled from the Handboek voor cultuuren handelsondernemingen in Nederlandsch-Indië (Handbook for cultivation and trading companies in the Netherlands Indies) and will also be incorporated into my PhD dissertation entitled ‘Foreign investment and colonial economic growth in Indonesia’, which forms part of the larger research project ‘Foreign capital and colonial development in Indonesia’.
