Objective – This paper argues the retrospective effect of foreign investment inflow. The FDI not only causes economic growth in the nation also it vindicate the societal development in the host nation. It is assumed that FDI does affect societal development either directly or indirectly also it can be constructive or dubious. Methodology – The societal development indicators have been taken for the study such as access to electricity, refugee population, and total natural resource on rent. The Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method used for regression analysis, Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) used to analyse stationarity and Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) used for empirical results. Findings – The result shows the consistency in FDI inflows, but all the taken indicators have not experienced the positive effect of FDI on the societal development of a nation. Novelty –Also, the policies of the government and initiative related to foreign investment inflow have major impact on societal growth in the nation.

The stability of the economy has explicitly become a key objective for fiscal, economic, and monetary policy. It is a broader term described by different aspects of finance and the financial system. One variable cannot be recognized for defining and achieving stability. The purpose of this paper is two-fold, one to construct four measures of financial stability (MFS). The second purpose is to use the four constructed measures of financial stability in two stage least square (TSLS) regression framework to know the impact of MFA on Foreign Direct Investment (inwards) of BRIC for a period from 2000-2017. In case of Brazil, all the four measures of financial stability are significant. In case of Russia, government finances are not appropriately managed. In case of China, the large inflow of FDI is because of government policies as rest of the measures are negative. In case of India, the government measures are not efficient to attract the FDI.The openness of the economy is positively contributing to FDI in all countries except India. Of all the four nations Brazil is on the right path. JEL Classification Codes: F4, F6, H11, E60.

Subject The fall in foreign investment last year. Significance The government has launched a new Foreign Investment Promotion Agency (APIE) to buck a sharp drop in foreign direct investment (FDI) last year. Breaking with the country's long-standing sector-agnostic approach, the agency will seek to attract investment to specific sectors, including energy, public infrastructure and the food industry. Impacts A more business-friendly administration in Argentina could potentially divert FDI from Chile. Critics of the new FDI regulation maintain that it will dampen inflows. Efforts to attract investment in food and mining services represent a bid to diversify from mineral exports.

Substantial Distance

Pakistan for many years maintained strict controls on foreign direct investment. However, over the past decade controls on foreign investment in manufacturing have diminished sharply, though less so for the service sector. The government continues to impose restrictions on foreign trade, which adversely affect foreign direct investors in several ways. Nonetheless, Pakistan has moved a substantial distance toward liberalising direct foreign investment. There are two obvious policy issues related to foreign investment raised by these developments. First, should Pakistan proceed further toward liberalisation and at what pace? Second, with a liberalised investment sector, should Pakistan become an active protagonist among developing countries for a multilateral agreement on investment?

 The purpose of this paper is to analyze the foreign direct investment status and environment in Nepal. There is significant contribution of foreign investment in economic development of developing countries like Nepal. Foreign investment attraction in a country like Nepal increases the foreign capital and technology transfer. Since 1990s inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) has been increasing in Nepal due to the adoption of liberal economic policy by the government of Nepal. The Foreign Investment Technology Transfer Act (FITTA) has made better foreign investment environment in Nepal. This paper examines and analyses the contribution of FDI in Nepal. For the analysis, simple linear regression model has been applied to measure the impact of FDI on GDP and employment. Because FDI inflow has been recorded after 1990s, the impact of FDI has been analyzed in this paper over the period of 1990/91-2018/19. This study finds a positive impact of FDI on GDP and other macro variables.

The study investigated the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth in Nigeria, which is currently Africa’s largest economy, and also determined the long-run relationship between FDI and economic growth in Nigeria from 1981 to 2017. The study adopted the autoregressive distributed lag modelling approach and ordinary least square in the analysis. The empirical results revealed that FDI has a positive and significant relationship with economic growth in Nigeria within the period under review. The study concluded and recommended that Nigerian Government should formulate policies that will attract more FDI in all sectors of the economy especially in the service and manufacturing sectors, so as to improve the infrastructural facilities and production of goods in the country and also expand its labour force. Finally, there is need to improve the educational policy of the country in order to raise the stock of human capital in the country that will make useful policies for the attraction for productive FDIs in the country.

In recent years, significant of Foreign Direct Investment has been increasing especially in the developing countries. These countries are trying their level best to attract more and more FDI. Foreign Direct Investment takes place when a company invests directly in the production or marketing of a product in a foreign country.FDI is defined as an investment involving a long term relationship that reflects the long term interest and control of a resident entity in the host country. Industrial investment plays a significant role in the development of a country. Broadly there are two types of foreign investment viz., foreign direct investment and portfolio investment. The developments are easily possible through Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) because it helps to bring close the different economies of the world by investing capital in a country. Capital formation is an important determinant of economic growth. While domestic investments add to the capital stock in an economy, FDI plays a complementary role in overall capital formation and filling up the gap between domestic savings and investment. Foreign investment plays an important role in the long term economic development by augmenting availability of capital, enhancing competitiveness domestic economy through transfer of technology, strengthening infrastructure, raising productivity, generating new employment opportunities and boosting exports. The Government has implemented several reforms in recent years to attract more FDIs. These include improving infrastructure, revising the law on the land acquisition, reforming labour law and rationalizing the process of obtaining environmental clearances. In this article researcher focused on industrial opportunities and challenges in Tamil Nadu for industrial development of the state.

Expropriations in the later 1970’s often proceed more suavely than in the past. Straightforward seizure, to be sure, still has devotees. However, an increasingly favored approach is to induce the foreign investor to convey his property (or an interest therein) by an instrument that on its face represents an ordinary sale. That sale may be accompanied by a revision of the terms of some underlying contract between the investor and the government. The purpose of this article is to explore whether any body of rules now exists setting limits to the means that a government can use to obtain the investor’s consent. It then asks whether that law could be further developed so as to improve the quality of such negotiations and to cause them to produce more equitable results. Thereby it would indirectly improve the security and efficiency of the whole process of foreign direct investment.

The key motive of this research is to explore the role of stock markets in economic growth in Pakistan for the span of 2000 to 2017 by using the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and fully Modified Ordinary Least Square approach (FMOLS). The research explored the stock market development and economic growth association by employing the two significant measures of the stock market development, that is the size (DSIZE) and liquidity (DLIQ) of the market accompanied with Foreign Direct Investment (DFDI) and Stock Market Capitalization (DSMC). The outcomes reveal that the included independent variables have a positive effect on the dependent variable i. e. DGDP except for liquidity which has no significant effect on DGDP. It is expected that the findings of the investigation can be utilized by the government for destined follow-up and reassessment of economic development programs in Pakistan. The influential policy suggestion was the attraction of the Foreign Direct Investment and trade openness by exploring their major determinants and also focus on the positive relationship variables
