CONCLUSION

• The last two decade of the 20th century witnessed a dramatic world-wide increase in foreign direct investment (FDI), accompanied by a marked change in the attitude of most developing countries towards inward FDI.

• As against a highly suspicious attitude of these countries towards inward FDI in the past, most countries now regard FDI as beneficial for their development efforts and compete with each other to attract it.

• Such shift in attitude lies in the changes in political and economic systems that have occurred during the closing years of the last century.
