Foreign Capital Inflows

This paper reviews the trends of two types of foreign capital inflows, namely foreign aid and foreign private investment, to Pakistan. Like other developing countries, the volume of foreign aid to Pakistan has been decreasing. Meanwhile foreign private investment to Pakistan has increased, though not as sharply as that to other developing Asian countries. The study finds that the impacts of foreign capital, aid and private investment on the economic performance of Pakistan have been insignificant. This paper suggests that these consequences are due to the inadequate development of domestic institutional structure, human capital, and indigenous entrepreneurship.

The Impact

This study aims to discover the impact of foreign capital inflows (FDI, RT and FA) on household savings of Pakistan. Data used in this study has been obtained from the website of State Bank of Pakistan for the period of 1981-2010. Statistical tools including multiple regressions analysis was applied for analysis. Results explain that foreign direct investment (FDI), remittances (RT) are having positive and significant impact on household saving (HS) but foreign aid (FA) is having negative and insignificant impact on household saving, so it is recommended that if a developing country like Pakistan wants to increase the household saving it should give thoughtful importance to FDI and RT than FA with respect to household savings in Pakistan.

Foreign Capital Inflows

In the current environment of significant global change, how can declining levels of development aid and private capital inflows be best used to promote economic growth in the developing countries? This question is addressed here and traditional analysis of this topic is complemented by taking a perspective that focuses on the limitations of how development aid and foreign capital inflows are usually allocated. It is suggested here that poor countries can benefit from a greater use of competitive markets to allocate development aid and private capital inflows.

Foreign Capital Inflows

Generally, foreign capital invested in developing countries function as externally additional capital resources in order to accelerate investment and economical growth, and also to mobilize capital as well as to transform economical structure. In this article, the writer discusses many impacts as a logical consequence of foreign capital inflows in some developing countries, including low income countries. Here, much discussion is talking about pros and cons arguments related to foreign capital inflows. The writer views that the abundance of foreign capital inflows in some developing countries mostly brings to negative impacts (from the view of balance sheet). To support his argument, the writer also put a "trivia hypothesis" such as: tightening rules about foreign capital inflows to make budget deficit not getting worse, 'reducing the structure of industrial sectors consisting many industrial sub sectors which is producing high-value added product and non-resources-based products and also not opening opportunity to posses as much 100 % for foreign investors.

Foreign Capital Inflows

Investment significance in any country cannot be ignored for its direct and indirect influences on the growth rate of the economy. Foreign capital inflows are one of the major determinants of domestic private investment. Hence, this study analyzes the effect of two kinds of foreign capital inflows, i.e. inward foreign direct investment and inward foreign remittances on domestic investment covering a sample of five South Asian economies from 1976 to 2017. The findings of the study reveal that both types of capital inflows raise the domestic investment and the role of remaining variables on investment is also positive and significant. The study recommended that steps should be undertaken to increase these foreign capital inflows to raise the domestic investment in these countries.

Foreign Capital Inflows

India's growth and poverty performance over the last three decades has been a subject of great curiosity. Unlike the East Asian countries, India's growth spurt is not associated with exceptionally high domestic savings or foreign capital inflows or manufacturing exports. So what triggered the change in the growth trajectory? Did the market liberalization policies of the 1990s help? How have the initial conditions shaped the process? And how has the “Indian model” impinged on India's central problem of mass poverty? This paper surveys the literature and offers its own assessment of the drivers of change.
