Since 1982, most Latin American countries have witnessed slow economic growth and a persistent net transfer of funds to the rest of the world as a result of sharply reduced inflows of private international bank lending and large debt payment obligations. Against this background direct foreign investment (DFI) has received increasing attention as one important element in overcoming the present stagnation-cum-debt crisis as well as in contributing to renewed economic growth. This article explores the possible contributions of DFI to the future economic growth and development of the region.1

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the key economic and geographical characteristics of the investment development of Belarus and how these characteristics could evolve in the future. The evaluation of the investment development of Belarus is based on comparative economic analysis, spatial analysis research methods and the cartographic method. Our results indicate a stable, predictable and enabling investment policy as the main determinant for attracting investment. This is confirmed by changes in the spatial distribution of foreign investment inflows in the real economy of Belarus by countries for 2010 and 2018. The characteristics of Belarusian investment development are identified because of the need to intensify innovative performance in the strategic dimensions of sustainable development. Particular attention is paid to the development of special economic zones with preferential regimes in the Republic of Belarus. This paper provides important new insights into the future prospects for Belarusian investment development on the basis of identified specifics.

Liberalization of foreign investment policy is a central component of India's economic reforms. While the need for foreign capital is hardly disputed⁄ there has been a continuing debate on the scope, coverage⁄ and impact of a liberalized foreign investment policy. In this paper⁄ Tarun Das argues that the debate on foreign investment policy lacks perspective and there seems to be very little appreciation of the emerging compulsions of the new international economic order. India's foreign investment policy has certainly become broadbased in recent years⁄ but it is still far from complete and further liberalization of foreign investment policy appears ⁄ inevitable in view of the pressures as well as obligations associated with the future global scenario.
