Investing in Developing Nations
Overview
The United Nations' 2008 World Investment Report states that developing and transition economies attracted nearly $600 million in foreign investment in 2007, a 25 percent increase from the previous year. Much of that money came from trans-national corporations, but much more is needed, particularly to shore up the infrastructure of these nations. The 411-page report analyzes trends in corporate giving as well as the roles of both the giver and the developing country.
