BRIC outward FDI - the dragon will outpace the jaguar, the tiger and the bear
Feb 13th, 2009 | By Finfacts Ireland Business & Finance Portal | Category: News worldwide
Deutsche Bank Research says economic and financial commentary generally focuses on BRIC FX (foreign exchange) reserve accumulation. BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) outward foreign direct investment typically attracts less attention. While BRIC FDI (foreign direct investment) remains relatively small, their FDI potential is substantial. On account of its economic size, rapid economic growth, large external surpluses and the nature of political-strategic incentives, China - - the dragon - - has by far the largest outward FDI potential. DB Research says it will be interesting to observe whether the current crisis will lead China to move closer to realizing its considerable potential.
