Foreign Direct Investment Inflows

The inflow of Foreign Direct Investment is needed by all countries in the world tobe used as a catalyst to achieve the goals of sustainable development in allaspects of a country's life. Countries in the Southeast Asia Region that aremembers of ASEAN also need Foreign Direct Investment. The success of acountry in attracting Foreign Direct Investment inflows is determined by manyfactors, including the ease of doing business and the income tax rate. In thisstudy, a comparative study was conducted between the success of ASEANcountries in obtaining Foreign Direct Investment inflows with the success ofachieving a high index of ease of doing business and the use of competitiveincome tax rates. The comparison was only made between 10 ASEAN membercountries from 11 ASEAN member countries, because of the difficulty in collecting data from 1 other ASEAN member country, namely Timor Leste. The results showed that Singapore succeeded in attracting the largest Foreign DirectInvestment inflows among other ASEAN countries, amounting to 59.10% of thetotal Foreign Direct Investment inflows from ASEAN countries. Singapore'ssuccess in attracting the largest Foreign Direct Investment inflow among otherASEAN countries is directly proportional to its achievement in obtaining the bestease of doing business index and the lowest income tax rate compared to otherASEAN countries. Meanwhile, for other ASEAN countries, there is no visiblecomparison between the success of obtaining Foreign Direct Investment with theease of doing business index and the Income Tax rate.

In modern conditions of functioning of the market economy, in the era of development of globalization and globalization processes, the prevalence of international relations, the spread of various forms of international capital movement, in particular foreign direct investment, an important place is occupied by investment activities and policies implemented by the state within the framework of the latter. It is difficult to overestimate the importance and role of investment, because world experience shows that the effective development of business entities, and therefore the country's economy as a whole, cannot be imagined without making investments. Therefore, the government of almost any country in the world is focused on creating a favorable investment climate. The article defines the theoretical foundations of investment security of the state: the essence of the concept is outlined, the principles on which investment security is based, its place and role in the state's economic security system are justified. Qualitative and quantitative criteria for a comprehensive assessment of the state's investment security are presented. The calculation and analysis of the main indicators – quantitative criteria of investment security: gross accumulation of fixed capital; the degree of accumulation of fixed capital; the ratio of the cost of newly introduced fixed assets to the volume of capital investments is carried out; the ratio of net growth of foreign direct investment to GDP; the size of the Ukrainian economy as a percentage of global GDP. The dynamics of the total volume of foreign direct investment in the Ukrainian economy in the context of world countries is analyzed. The main investor countries that ensure the receipt of the largest volumes of investment flows to the Ukrainian economy are identified. Ukraine's place in the World Bank's “Doing Business” rating over the past ten years has been demonstrated. The positive dynamics regarding Ukraine's place in the World Bank's “Doing Business” rating and the main factors that influenced such positive changes were noted. The investment climate of the state is assessed and possible measures are proposed to improve the mechanism of managing the state's investment security.

ABSTRACTIndonesia has abundant diversity of resources to promote economic growth, and insufficient capital will lead to economic stagnation. This paper aims at examining the impact of macroeconomic indicators such as gross domestic product and inflation toward foreign direct investment in Indonesia as well as investigating the ease of doing business factors in explaining foreign direct investment. This research involved a time-series from 2014 to 2019, which was collected from several official websites of Statistics Indonesia (BPS), Central Bank of Indonesia (BI), the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), and World Bank. Furthermore, the data were analyzed undergoing multiple linear regression analyses with the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) model. The findings indicate that gross domestic product has a positive impact on foreign direct investment, while inflation has a negative effect. Also, the ease of doing business variables failed in explaining a significant influence between foreign direct investment in Indonesia.ABSTRAKIndonesia memiliki keanekaragaman sumber daya yang melimpah untuk mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi namun permasalahan permodalan menyebabkan kelambanan yang menyebabkan stagnasi ekonomi.

Foreign Direct Investment Inflows

Both India and Pakistan follow a liberal and open economic policy. Almost all the sectors of these two economies are open for foreign investment. Both of them have also been able to attract a substantial volume of foreign investment from various corners of the world in almost all the sectors of the economy. During the last decade, many companies from both nations have emerged that have successfully invested in foreign markets. But, to date, there exists no bilateral direct investment between these two developing neighbouring economies. In this connection, the present study tries to explore the trend of the foreign direct investment inflows and outflows from India and Pakistan. The study also tries to explore the potential sector in both economies where either side can invest. Applying a robust three-stage methodology, the study finds that sectors such as power generation, healthcare, pharmaceutical and e-commerce are some of the vital sectors in Pakistan where Indians can invest. Similarly, banking and insurance, cement, and textiles are the prominent sectors in India where Pakistani companies can invest and collaborate.
