| Title | THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FINANCIAL CRISIS AND FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT: A STUDY OF THE 2007-2009 FINANCIAL CRISIS AND ITS IMPACT ON FDI INFLOWS TO MOZAMBIQUE AND TANZANIA |
| Summary | This paper explores the impact of the recent financial crisis on inflows of foreign direct investment to Mozambique and Tanzania, two countries that share markedly similar economic qualities, yet performed drastically different in their abilities to attract foreign direct investment during the financial crisis. It looks at key indicators that serve as determinants of foreign direct investment disbursement, and finds that the adherence to these determinants can allow a country to realize growth in inflows of foreign direct investment despite an economic climate that would portend otherwise. It finds that government policy, rather than uncontrollable variables such as natural resource endowment, can be a successful driver for attracting foreign direct investment. Based on the analysis of the research and findings, the paper offers conclusions that augment the relatively young discourse on the impact of the financial crisis on the developing world. |
