Recent studies suggested that growth tends to lift the incomes of the poor proportionately with overall growth. Investment is known to be the engine of sustainable growth and due to the huge gap that exist between the required rate of investment and the existing rate of savings in LDCs, thus FDI is a vehicle to generate growth and an important ingredient to poverty reduction.

Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment As a Tool for Poverty Reduction in Developing Countries written by RONALD K.S. WAKYEREZA and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The textbook experience of poverty can be witnessed in a number of developing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, South-East Asia and Latin America. Accordingly, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been identified as an important tool for poverty reduction, as it is noted to accelerate economic growth and employment in a nation, and is currently an essential issue for countries such as Uganda. This book finds that Ragnarâ (TM)s 1953 â ~Vicious-Circle of Povertyâ (TM) remains undisputed even today, showing that attracting FDI is not the end, but that a nationâ (TM)s absorption capacity is equally paramount. The implications of the FDI â ~frog-leap theoryâ (TM) for developing countries and the Community Capital Absorption Capacity Development (CCACD) framework provide plausible poverty reduction approaches in the 21st century. Without such measures, bringing an end to poverty is likely to elude governments and multinational corporations in developing countries.

This book was released on 2020-08-20 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, , course: Public Administration, language: English, abstract: The study examined foreign direct investment (FDI): a panacea to national economic development. The objectives set for the study are; to determine the causes of the Nigerian economic downturn, to ascertain the effects of foreign direct investment, to suggest measures that would be taken to accelerate the economic development of Nigeria. Primary and secondary data were used; the population of the study was 1200 from which the sample sizes of 400 were determined using Taro Yamani’s formula. The research instruments used were questionnaire and oral interview. The reliability of the research instruments was tested using Pearson Product moment correlation coefficient; the result gave a reliability index of 0.98 indicating a high degree of consistency. Chi-square and ANOVA approach were the statistical tools used. The findings from the study reveals that, decline in oil prices and revenue, increase government expenditure and decline in market indices are the challenges posed by economic downturn in Nigeria; consumption-based economy, poor savings, high credit culture and huge financial outflow are the causes of the economic crises in Nigeria; reduction in direct foreign investment and overseas development assistance are the effects of economic crisis to Nigeria and finally, diversification of the economy, robust regulatory policies and professional supervision to aid foreign direct investment in Nigeria. Based on the findings, the researcher made the following recommendation: Nigeria should adopt tough policy measures as effective strategies towards a comprehensive strengthening of the economy, government should ensure that policy recommendations are implemented in order to reposition the Nigerian economy against the impact of future economic downturn, government should create enabling environment to attract foreign investors in order to boost economic activities in the country. Finally, government needs to sincerely focus on developing/strengthening the economy and provide alternative sources of revenue on a sustained basis.

Download or read book Globalization and Poverty written by Ann Harrison and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, the percentage of the world’s population living on less than a dollar a day has been cut in half. How much of that improvement is because of—or in spite of—globalization? While anti-globalization activists mount loud critiques and the media report breathlessly on globalization’s perils and promises, economists have largely remained silent, in part because of an entrenched institutional divide between those who study poverty and those who study trade and finance. Globalization and Poverty bridges that gap, bringing together experts on both international trade and poverty to provide a detailed view of the effects of globalization on the poor in developing nations, answering such questions as: Do lower import tariffs improve the lives of the poor? Has increased financial integration led to more or less poverty? How have the poor fared during various currency crises? Does food aid hurt or help the poor? Poverty, the contributors show here, has been used as a popular and convenient catchphrase by parties on both sides of the globalization debate to further their respective arguments. Globalization and Poverty provides the more nuanced understanding necessary to move that debate beyond the slogans.

This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria has the potential to become Sub-Saharan Africa s largest economy because of its rich human and natural resources but in spite of this, Nigeria is considered to be one of the poorest countries in the world. About 70% of the population live below the poverty line and with an investment rate of barely 10% of GDP, Nigeria is below the minimum investment rate of about 30% of GDP required to reduce poverty. Foreign Direct Investment can provide the capital needed to bridge the savings gap, required to propel economic growth and development. This is an historical and empirical assessement of the story so far and the best ways Nigeria can position effectively to make the most of available capital, generate and sustain global interest in the non-oil sector.

This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria has the potential to become Sub-Saharan Africa's largest economy because of its rich human and natural resources. These vast natural resources qualify Nigeria to be a major recipient of foreign direct Investment. Foreign Direct Investment in turn is believed to be an engine of economic development in that it brings about the transfer of technology, managerial skills, international production, access to markets, etc. A number of studies have been conducted on the Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on Economic Growth, with most of those studies focusing on cross-country studies. Yet, results about the relationship between foreign direct investment and economic growth come with varying outcomes. This Bachelor's thesis focused exclusively on Nigeria with a view to analysing the role foreign direct investment has played on economic growth in Nigeria since independence. This thesis concludes by making important recommendations that are particularly useful to investors who want to invest in Nigeria; academicians interested in studies of FDI-growth linkage; and to policymakers to adopt some measures to further strengthen and improve investment environment in Nigeria.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper investigates empirically the determinants of economic growth for a large sample of sub-Saharan African countries during 1981-92. The results indicate that (i) an increase in private investment has a relatively large positive impact on per capita growth; (ii) growth is stimulated by public policies that lower the budget deficit in relation to GDP (without reducing government investment), reduce the rate of inflation, maintain external competitiveness, promote structural reforms, encourage human capital development, and slow population growth; and (iii) convergence of per capita income occurs after controlling for human capital development and public policies.

Download or read book Trends and Impacts of Foreign Investment in Developing Country Agriculture written by Pascal Liu and published by Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO). This book was released on 2013 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Substantial increases in agricultural investments in developing countries are needed to combat poverty and realize food security and nutrition goals. There is evidence that agricultural investments can generate a wide range of developmental benefits, but these benefits cannot be expected to arise automatically and some forms of large-scale investment carry risks for host countries. Although there has been much debate about the potential benefits and risks of international investment, there is no systematic evidence on the actual impacts on the host country and their determinants. In order to acquire an in-depth understanding of potential benefits, constraints and costs of foreign investment in agriculture and of the business models that are more conducive to development, FAO has undertaken research in developing countries.This publication summarizes the results of this research, in particular through the presentation of the main findings of case studies in nine developing countries. It presents case studies on policies to attract foreign investment in agriculture and their impacts on national economic development in selected countries in Africa, Asian and Latin America.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past two decades, advances toward a truly global economy were driven by the role of Multinational Enterprises (MNE). The progress of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has raised many controversies in the ways these foreign investors conduct their businesses in developing countries. More attention has been given to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in developing countries. Despite such attention, Africa is less represented than any other continent. MNEs, which embark on FDI, are faced with an important decision on how to enhance CSR to reduce poverty in their host countries. The authors reviewed extant literature exploring FDI, CSR and how FDI contributed to the reduction of poverty in the African developing countries of Nigeria, Ghana, and Cameroon.
