Foreign investment has accelerated at an incredible rate over the last quarter-century, and alterations in the flow of this investment are increasingly changing the global economic environment. International investors provide new markets not only new capital, technology, competitive spirit, and ideas, but also additional jobs. For India's economic development, foreign direct investment (FDI) has been a substantial non-debt financial resource and a key growth engine. South Korea's economy is one of Asia's most promising and lively. The country's stability, quick growth rates, strong manufacturing base, export focus, and availability of superior technology make it an appealing investment destination. India's permitted cumulative investments in South Korea from April 1996 to December 2019 was US$ 593.9 million, according to data from the Ministry of Finance, Government of India (GOI), and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). According to the FDI Markets database, India was the 15th largest investor in South Korea between 2009 and 2019, with 14 Indian businesses investing US$ 913 million in 17 FDI projects, resulting in the creation of 5,519 jobs. As a result, the current study examines India-South Korea's bilateral investment ties and looks ahead to possible areas of cooperation in the future between the two countries' investment relations.

Energy management is a major issue in economic development that goes hand in hand with sustainable development. The objective of this study is to analyze the determinants of energy demand in Morocco during the period 1990-2016. For years to come, energy demand has tended to grow. As a result, it is important to understand the key determinants of energy demand through the analysis of three independent variables: gross domestic product (GDP), access to electricity and direct foreign investment. The approach adopted is to use an Error Correction Vector Model (VECM). Empirical results show that energy demand in Morocco is linked to real causes, which are GDP, access to electricity and foreign direct investment.

With a strong economy and newly acquired confidence following three decades of rapid economic expansion, China has pursued an outward looking policy based upon foreign direct investment, development assistance and trade targeting particularly the developing world. Such expansion has drawn concerns over its impact on human rights, democratization and the environment. This paper assesses these concerns by examining Sino-Cambodia relations over the past sixteen years. It concludes that while trade, development assistance, and investment have had positive effects on Cambodia’s economic development, concerns that these engagements have derailed deeper democratization in Cambodia are not deterministic. Cambodia’s authoritarian trajectory is less a product of China’s engagement and more of the Cambodian elites’ defiance of Western efforts at democratic promotion and belief in state developmentalism—economic prosperity with tight political control.

AbstractGermany has implemented several legal reforms in an attempt to attract international investment. Commentators proclaimed that a transition from a bank-based system of corporate governance to a market-based system was required in order for Germany to attract international investors. Debates still transpire regarding the success of the legal reforms implemented in an effort to make this change. This analysis explains Germany's previous corporate governance system and the new laws implemented to transform it to a market-based system. Empirical data is recited concerning the changes in foreign direct investment, German household investment decisions, and the German financial markets. The paper concludes that an analysis of this data reveals an increase of foreign investment in Germany and a substantial movement towards a market-based system throughout the duration of the legal reform.

Indian card industry has gone through several interesting changes in the recent past. We wanted to explore this fascinating world both from card issuing and merchant acquiring perspective within our chosen study period of around 6 years - from Q2, 2011 to Q4, 2016. However rather than hunting the data to prove any pre-defined notion we wanted to listen to the data to capture the story it wants to tell us. We took a canvas of raw primary data from a no. of sources ranging from Reserve Bank of India to World Bank, from Ministry of Finance to Ministry of Statistics & Implementation (of Govt. of India) and a no. of other sources like Yahoo Finance, Index Mundi data portal. As a choice of tool we have used R (an open source software) and Excel for our study. In order to uncover the underlying story behind the data we have used an array of techniques ranging from descriptive trend chart, heat map, multidimensional bubble plot, outlier chart to advanced data analytics techniques like clustering using machine learning algorithm. We also uncovered the correlations of card industry parameters with other economic and social indicators and went ahead in building optimum casual predictive model as well as time series forecasting model.

More and more countries are seeking to liberalize their economies to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) flows. In this regard, the most important question for these countries is not only to reform, but also how to carry out reforms. In this regard, the Korean experience is a particularly interesting example. Because its reforms, which began in the 1990s, were rapid and farreaching. The purpose of this study is to study deeply the experience of the Republic of Korea in attracting foreign direct investment. By studying the Korean experience, we will try to find answers to the questions: What were the main obstacles and what were the main driving forces? How did FDI liberalization compare with other reforms (trade and regulatory reform, foreign investment policy)? Understanding the Korean experience is useful for other countries, especially for Uzbekistan, which still has high levels of regulatory constraints, as measured by the FDI Index. In recent years, Uzbekistan has been striving to attract more investment and realizes that it is necessary to reform its investment regime, but does not know how best to proceed.
