Foreign direct investment
Foreign direct investment: defined by the IMF as "direct investment that is made to acquire a lasting interest in an enterprise operating in an economy other than that of the investor, the investor's purpose being to have an effective voice in the management of the enterprise". Much thought has been given to the meaning of "lasting interest". The OECD has recommended that 10% or greater ownership should satisfy this requirement. The OECD also defines direct investment flows as (i) the direct investor's net purchases of the company's share capital and net loans, trade and other credits advanced, and (ii) the direct investor's share of reinvested earnings. See also APEC Non-Binding Investment Principles, Foreign Investment Advisory Service, non-equity-based investment, portfolio investment and World Bank Guidelines on the Treatment of Foreign Direct Investment.
