World Investment Report 2003 Fdi Policies for Development National and International Perspectives

This annual report examines the major sectoral and geographical changes in the pattern of foreign direct investment (FDI) flows, particularly with regards to developing countries. The 2003 edition focuses on the reasons for the decline in FDI flows over the last few years (down from $1.4 trillion in 2000 to $650 billion in 2002), the impact on the economic development of various regions and countries, and the chances for recovery at the global and regional levels. It also assesses the interaction between national and international FDI policies, the role of transnational corporations (TNCs) and the importance of meeting development objectives when negotiating investment agreements.United Nations Conference On Trade And Development Staff is the author of 'World Investment Report 2003 Fdi Policies for Development National and International Perspectives', published 2003 under ISBN 9789211125801 and ISBN 9211125804.
