The role of foreign capital in economic growth has been a burning topic of debate in countries world over including India. It is not possible for a developing country like India to grow without sufficient foreign capital inflow, technology and employment generation. The Indian government has taken many initiatives to attract foreign investment to boost the Indian economy since the liberalization process started in 1991. As a result, India has received Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to the tune of US $ 380215 million by the end of June 2015. This study has assessed the growth of employment in public and private sector by the flow of foreign capital, comprising of Foreign Direct Investment, Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI), External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs), and NRI Deposits in India during the period 1991 to 2012. The study has also analyzed the trends of employment in public and private sectors of Indian economy. We find that overall foreign capital inflows, except for the FPI and NRI deposits, have a significant positive impact on the growth of private sector employment.

Abstract Since the 1980s, foreign direct investment inflow (FDI) has grown significantly in most developing countries while pertaining Alania, foreign direct investment has started after the 1990s. A lot of developing countries have made policies aimed at reducing FDI barriers. Foreign capital globalization, particularly FDI inflow is increased significantly in developing countries, due to the fact that FDI is the most stable and prevalent component of foreign capital inflows (Adams, 2009) Foreign direct investments are a very important factor for the development of a country and Albania has still much to be done to encourage such investments, especially in the legislative framework. The authors are trying to give the answer to the question that how does foreign direct investment in the Albania affect the nation’s economy? The authors identify that foreign direct investment improves technology and has positive impact on economic growth. Because the overall theory is that FDI inflow enhances and sustains economic growth in the host country.

In an attempt to attained sustainable level of economic development in a nation, empirical studies as well as financial theories posit that foreign capital inflows play a lead role. As such, this study set out to empirically investigate the extent to which foreign capital flows promotes economic development in Nigeria. Time series data between the periods 1986 to 2018 were sourced from the central bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin and world bank data based. The study proxied foreign capital flows using foreign direct investment, foreign portfolio investment, foreign aids and external borrowings which is decomposed into multilateral and bilateral loans while Human development index is used as proxy for economic development. The study further employed unit root test, co-integration test, error correction model and granger causality test to ascertain the direction of relationship. Findings reveal that of the five indices of foreign capital inflows, three (foreign  portfolio investment, foreign aids and bilateral loan) prove to be significant in promoting economic development in Nigeria, while foreign direct investment and multilateral loan are negatively  related to economic development in Nigeria. As such, the study conclude that foreign capital inflows in the form of foreign portfolio investment, foreign aids and bilateral loans are significant in boosting economic development in Nigeria. Therefore, we recommend that managers of the Nigerian economic should create an enabling financial environment as this will help in accelerating further inflows of portfolio investment and thus boost economic development in Nigeria.

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.

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.

The study attempts to examine the impact of foreign capital inflows and money supply on exchange rate of Pakistan. For this purpose we have undertaken time series data for the period of 1973-2016. Annual data for the period 1973-2016 is used, taken from Economic Survey of Pakistan (various issues) and International Financial Statistics (IFS). The main variables used in our analysis are exchange rate, openness, workers' remittances, foreign direct investment, foreign aid and money supply. Simple Linear Regression model with ordinary least method (OLS) is used to analyse the results. Money supply is positively and significantly related to exchange rate. Worker's remittances (WREM), foreign aid (FAID), foreign direct investment. (FDI) and openness (OPP) are negatively and significantly related to exchange rate.  The study shows that foreign capital inflows and workers' remittances significantly appreciate the exchange rate in the case of Pakistan.

The article examines the relationship between attracting foreign capital in the form of foreign direct investment and ensuring economic development. In particular, the analysis of the current structure of the economy is indicated, its raw material character is pointed out and, based on other researches, the necessity of its reform is substantiated, as Ukraine will remain a low-income country if the current trend continues. This is due to the fact that countries with a raw material structure of the economy are characterized by a low level of economic complexity, and therefore are not able to generate high levels of income in society. As a result, the expediency of stimulating the attraction of investment resources into the country’s economy, in particular in the form of foreign direct investment, is substantiated. The dynamics of attracting foreign direct investment to Ukraine and a number of other countries for the period from 1991 to 2019 is analyzed and the key negative factors that deter foreign investors from investing in the economy of Ukraine are indicated. As a result of the analysis, divergent trends in the economic development of Ukraine and other analyzed countries (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Turkey, Romania, Hungary) were identified, which contributed to economic stagnation and restrained economic growth and development. Taking into account the analysis, as well as based on the concept of investment and innovation growth, it is proposed to use the experience of Israel to improve the country’s investment attractiveness and stimulate foreign capital inflows by adapting the Yozma program to Ukrainian realities. According to our estimates, the adaptation of this program to the Ukrainian economy will attract about $ 350 million over a five-year period of venture capital alone. In addition, programs such as YOSMA can also be implemented at the regional or even local level. We believe that the use of this tool will improve the investment attractiveness of the country, as well as provide sufficient financial resources to modernize the domestic economy and ensure rapid economic growth.

The economic reforms of 1991 resulted in an increased inflow of FDI into theIndian economy. However, for the invention of new techniques and skills, there is a greatneed to invest on R&D, requires a huge amount of capital, which can be available throughFDI inflows. Technology has been imported in heavy amount after the implementation ofliberalization policies. Therefore, the present study intends to know whether FDIcontributes to the Indian manufacturing sector through R&D or not. The average growthof the manufacturing sector in India (7.93 per cent) has been found considerably higherduring the second decade of reforms (2001-2012) as compared to first decade reforms(1991-2000). In the context of this, the present study has tried to examine the trends andpatterns of FDI and R&D in manufacturing firms of India during the second decade ofreforms (2001-12) and also, to analyze the impact of FDI and exports on R&D inmanufacturing firms of India through fixed effect model. The results suggest that R&D hasbeen significantly impacted by the import of capital goods, foreign equity, disembodiedtechnology, and export intensity during the second decade of liberalization period. Thepresent study suggests that greater approvals for foreign capital inflows are required inIndia, for enhancing the R&D in the manufacturing sector. There must be an appropriatecoordination between public and private sector, which can improve the R&D expenditureof manufacturing firms of India.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is an essential source of capital in the gross investment conducive to national economic growth, including the case of Vietnam. Since the 1987 Foreign Investment Law, the country has attracted a large amount of foreign capital, which makes a significant contribution to economic development. This research employs a VAR model to analyze the relationship between FDI and Vietnam’s economic growth. The results suggest that FDI has a positive impact on the latter and vice versa. The research also finds that FDI stimulates export and improves the quality of human resources and technology - important prerequisites for the economic growth.
