Legal and other barriers limit foreign investors' access to emerging stock markets. Empirical evidence suggests that countries could lower the (risk- adjusted) cost of capital by removing formal barriers to such access.

Since the early 1970s foreign direct and portfolio equity investment flows into developing countries, although continuing to increase in absolute terms, have been relatively less important than in previous years, as foreign private capital flows have been dominated by debt-creating bank credit.

Foreign direct investment has been heralded as the key benefit which globalization offers the South and the mechanism to kickstart economies into rapid growth. This careful and penetrating economic study analyzes what is actually happening to direct investment, its various impacts and just how little we know about it. It assesses the scale of the flows involved; their systematic under-valuation in official statistics; their geographically skewed distribution; the very high rates of return; the risks of large substantial outflows of resources; the massive shift towards foreign ownership required to avoid them; the potentially depressive effect of over-investment on the prices of many traditional Third World exports; and the adverse implications for national sovereignty, social welfare and democratic rights. More dramatically, David Woodward shows how FDI may have contributed to the Asian financial crisis and could lead to a new wave of similar financial crises throughout the developing world.

Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: 1,4 / 69, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, language: English, abstract: This essay focuses on the impact of portfolio investment (PI)flows in developing countries (DC). My thesis statement is that PI have positive rather than negative effects on a DC’s economy since they seem to reduce the cost of capital, increase investment, and accelerate growth. Thus, capital controls should not be enforced on PI. To address the problem of poverty in developing countries (DCs) economic governance and capital flows play a key role. The policy advice of the IMF for DCs was to liberalise the capital account, especially in the 1990s. Economists like John Williamson criticised the capital account liberalisation clearly and held it accountable for the Asian crisis that overtook the so-called “tiger economies” in 1997. He favoured foreign direct investments (FDI) compared to PI since they are much more stable. But how volatile are PI and what are their effects on the economies of DCs? Which legal framework should politicians in DCs set to manage the effects of PI? This essay will face these questions. First of all, I will give an overview of portfolio investment flows in DCs. Afterwards, I will introduce the third-generation crisis models. Then, I will analyse the consequences of PI in DCs. Next, the consequences of PI will be evaluated, also with regard to third-generation crisis models. Given this evaluation, I will state my advice for policy makers.

The report reviews lessons from the International Finance Corporation's (IFC) investment, and advisory experience in the developing world, which show the interactions between policy frameworks, and the volume and structure of foreign direct investments (FDI). Case studies show how the Corporation promotes successful project structures, and regulatory changes, as it tries to attain the strongest development impact for investments. In developing countries, FDI has flowed mainly into manufacturing, and processing industries. In the past, investment attractiveness had been closely linked to possession of natural resources, or a large domestic market, while production and trade globalization, competitiveness as a location for investment, and exporting, have become the main determinants of attractiveness. Sources of FDI in the past, came almost exclusively from industrial countries, though recently those sources have widened, emerging from developing countries in their own right, and for their own regions. IFC, as an international initiative to promote FDI in developing countries, is liable to promote bilateral trade agreements, bilateral and multilateral financial institutions, and investment promotion programs; its advisory role may vary from diagnostic studies overviewing constraints to FDI, to investment policy studies giving specific solutions on either changes, or strategies. The study further looks at how policy environment is set, and at finding investor opportunities, through project financing, largely structured as joint ventures. The inherent, fragile nature of joint ventures, restricts foreign ownership, thus limiting project structures; however, careful project design has lead to successful operations, by ensuring management, and financial arrangements. Still, to maximize benefits, an unfinished agenda of policy reform remains, and, as more countries open to FDI, this integration will lead to an overall increase in FDI flows.

Major institutional investors in five industrial countries invest cautiously, and very little, in emerging market securities. But only in Germany are regulations on foreign investment a significant constraint.

With foreign capital funds dwindling, governments in many developing countries-- with increased Bank support-- are looking to develop capital markets to provide risk capital for the corporate sector. But first, some basic issues must be empirically explored.

Recent changes in technology, along with the opening up of many regions previously closed to investment, have led to explosive growth in the international movement of capital. Flows from foreign direct investment and debt and equity financing can bring countries substantial gains by augmenting local savings and by improving technology and incentives. Investing companies acquire market access, lower cost inputs, and opportunities for profitable introductions of production methods in the countries where they invest. But, as was underscored recently by the economic and financial crises in several Asian countries, capital flows can also bring risks. Although there is no simple explanation of the currency crisis in Asia, it is clear that fixed exchange rates and chronic deficits increased the likelihood of a breakdown. Similarly, during the 1970s, the United States and other industrial countries loaned OPEC surpluses to borrowers in Latin America. But when the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates to control soaring inflation, the result was a widespread debt moratorium in Latin America as many countries throughout the region struggled to pay the high interest on their foreign loans. International Capital Flows contains recent work by eminent scholars and practitioners on the experience of capital flows to Latin America, Asia, and eastern Europe. These papers discuss the role of banks, equity markets, and foreign direct investment in international capital flows, and the risks that investors and others face with these transactions. By focusing on capital flows' productivity and determinants, and the policy issues they raise, this collection is a valuable resource for economists, policymakers, and financial market participants.
