Corporations frequently look to do business with those countries where they will pay the least amount of taxes.
Foreign investment (FI) involves capital flows from one country to another, granting the investors extensive ownership stakes in domestic companies and assets.
A modern trend leans toward globalisation, where multinational firms have investments in a variety of countries. FI is seen as a catalyst for economic growth, can be made by individuals, but are most often endeavours pursued by companies and corporations with substantial assets looking to expand their reach.
As globalisation increases, more companies have branches in countries around the world. For some multinational corporations, opening new manufacturing and production plants in a different country is attractive because of the opportunities for cheaper production and labour costs.
Corporations frequently look to do business with those countries where they will pay the least amount of taxes. They may do this by relocating their home office or parts of their business to a country that is a tax haven or has favorable tax laws.
FI can be classified in one of two ways: direct and indirect. Foreign direct investments (FDIs) are the physical investments and purchases made by a company in a foreign country, typically by opening plants and buying buildings, machines, factories, and other equipment in the foreign country.
