Trends in FDI in Developing Countries: Background
| |
| During the past two decades, a number of developing countries witnessed a
growing importance of FDI as the primary source of financial capital flows into their
economy. FDI brings not only increased access to foreign exchange, trade and
employment, but also new products, information and technology. It is no coincidence that
this rapid growth of FDI was accompanied by an increase in the level of human capital.
The latter was achieved by strong government commitments to expand formal education
and vocational training along with improved enterprise efforts to improve training
opportunities for workers. This section looks at recent trends in both FDI and HRD in
order to highlight the magnitude of this issue as well as to explain some of the key issues
raised in this paper. |

IV. A. Private Traders: THE ROLE OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR
| |
| Mirroring its contributions to domestic economic activity, China’s private sector is in the
forefront of the country’s external trade and investment expansion. However, its role in
China-Africa economic relations has been much less appreciated, in part because there are no
reliable data. Understanding China’s private enterprises (including those that are joint
ventures and collectively owned) and their activities in Africa is important for assessing the
evolution of trade and capital flows between China and Africa. |

Non-Real Estate Loans Private Lenders
| |
| Non-real estate loans from private lenders is not as hard of a proposition as one might think. But are they worth the high interest rate? Typically a private loan made for non-real estate purposes will cost you more in the short term than a traditional loan. The advantages of a private loan for non-real estate deals is that they often take less time to approve and the terms are generally more flexible. By nature private lenders take on a lot of risk, but don't be fooled into thinking that they do so unknowingly or without reservation. Assurances, a good track record and often some equity will be needed to get one of these "quickie" loans. |
