    INTRODUCTION

    Foreign Capital is the source,amount or amount of goods that is introduced in a

    host country by a foreign country.Getting resources from another country or from outside the boundry of our

    country.

    When people think about globalization, they often first think of the increasing

    volume of trade in goods and services. Trade flows are indeed one of the most

    visible aspects of globalization. ut many analysts argue that international

    investment is a much more powerful force in propelling the world toward closer

    economic integration. !nvestment, often alter sentire methods of production

    through transfers of know"how, technology and management techni#ues, and

    thereby initiates much more significant change than the simple trading of goods.

    $ver the past ten years, foreign investment has grown at a significantly more

    rapid pace than either international trade or world economic production generally.

    From %&'( to%&&', international capital flows, a key indication of investment

    across borders, grew by almost )*+ annually, compared to the *+ growth rate of

    international trade. This investment has been a powerful catalyst for economic

    growth. ut as with many of the other aspects of globalization, foreign investmentis raising many new #uestions about economic, cultural and political relationships

    around the world. Flows of investment and the rules that govern or fail to govern

    it can have profound impacts upon such diverse issues as economic development,

    environmental protection, labor standards and economic stability. Forms of

    Foreign !nvestment !nternational investment or capital flows fall into four

    principal

    There are many Forms of Foreign Capital Flowing into India such as banking

    and -! deposits. The various Forms of Foreign Capital Flowing into !ndia has

    helped to bring in huge amounts of F ! into the country, which in its turn has

    given a ma/or boost to the !ndian economy.

    Foreign Direct Investment (FDI):

    This category refers to international investment in which the investor obtains alasting interest in an enterprise in another country. F ! is calculated to include allkinds of capital contributions, such as the purchases of stocks, as well as thereinvestment of earnings by a wholly owned company incorporated abroad0subsidiary1, and the lending of funds to a foreign subsidiary or branch. Thereinvestment of earnings and transfer of assets between a parent company and its

    subsidiary often constitutes a significant part of F ! calculations. 2n investor3searnings on F ! take the form of profits such as dividends, retained earnings,management fees and royalty payments. !nternational investment or capital flowsfall into four principal categories4 commercial loans, official flows, foreign directinvestment 0F !1, and foreign portfolio investment 0F5!1.Commercial loans,which primarily take the form of bank loans issued to foreign businesses orgovernments.$fficial flows, which refer generally to the forms of developmentassistance that developed nations give to developing ones.

    Foreign direct investment 0F !1 pertains to international investment in which the

    investor obtains a lasting interest in an enterprise in another country. 6ostconcretely, it may take the form of buying or constructing a factory in a foreigncountry or adding improvements to such a facility, in the form of property, plants,or e#uipment.

    F ! is calculated to include all kinds of capital contributions, such as the purchases of stocks, as well as the reinvestment of earnings by a wholly ownedcompany incorporated abroad 0subsidiary1, and the lending of funds to a foreignsubsidiary or branch.

    Foreign Portfolio Instit!tional Investment (FII):

    F!! is a category of investment instruments that are more easily traded, may beless permanent, and do not represent a controlling stake in an enterprise. Theseinclude investments via e#uity instruments 0stocks1 or debt 0bonds1 of a foreignenterprise which does not necessarily represent a long"term interest. The returnsthat an investor ac#uires on F!! usually take the form of interest payments or non"voting dividends. !nvestments in F!! that are made for less than one year aredistinguished as short"term portfolio flows. Foreign portfolio investment 0F5!1, onthe otherhand is a category of investment instruments that is more easily traded,may be less permanent, and do not represent a controlling stake in an enterprise.These include investments via e#uity instruments 0stocks1 or debt 0bonds1 of a

    amount of contribution to the economic growth. To e8amine the same, first the

    researcher developed a model on the basis of source of financing available to an

    Factors Infl!encing Foreign Investment Decisions

    The policy frameworks relating to F ! and F!! are relatively similar, althoughthere are a few differences. The determinants of F!! are somewhat comple8

    trade policy and privatization policy

    business facilitation measures, such as investment promotion, incentives,improvements in amenities and other measures to reduce the cost of doing

    business. For e8ample, some countries set up special e8port processing

    zones, which may be free of customs or duties, or offer special ta8 breaksfor new investors

    restrictions, if any, on bringing home earnings or profits in the form ofdividends, royalties, interest or other payments

    The determinants of F5! are somewhat more comple8, however. ecause portfolioinvestment earnings are more likely to be tied to the broader macroeconomicindicators of a country, such as overall market capitalization of an economy, theycan be more sensitive to factors such as4

    The rapid growth of world population since %&*( has occurred mostly in

    developing countries. This growth has been matched by more rapid increases in

    turnover, on the other hand, may have rather different implications for the

    individual firm on the one hand, and the wider economy on the other. For the

    individual firm, some degree of labour stability will be re#uired to ensure that the

    benefits from training flow back to the firm rather than moving on to rival firms.

    For the economy as a whole, however, such movement may generate positive

    spill"over effects. To some e8tent the successful creation of industrial districts can

    internalise what would otherwise be e8ternalities to the firm, so that labour

    turnover becomes less costly, as the firm becomes more likely to benefit from

    recruiting already skilled labour, and will also benefit from the fact that other

    firms within the region are operating at or near the relevant technological frontier.

    The endogenous growth theories strongly support the role of F ! in

    promoting economic growth in host countries. !n these theories, F ! is viewed as

    a way to transfer knowledge, promote learning by doing, bring in technology spillover, and human capital growth. Conse#uently, F ! stimulates economic growth

    in host countries .There are still inconclusive arguments for and against the role of

    F ! inflows in enhancing economic growth in a country. Whether F ! inflows are

    beneficial or not to economic growth especially in host developing countries are

    still debateable among economists. !t is therefore very essential to analyse

    e8pected theoretical relationship between F ! and these macro economic

    variables before doing empirical investigation regarding their relationship. This

    has been discussed below4

    included in the value of their outputs1.Q

    G 5 estimates are commonly used to measure the economic performance of a

    whole country or region, but can also measure the relative contribution of an

    industry sector. This is possible because G 5 is a measure of 3value added3 rather

    than salesH it adds each firm3s value added 0the value of its output minus the value

    of goods that are used up in producing it1. For e8ample, a firm buys steel and adds

    value to it by producing a carH double counting would occur if G 5 added

    together the value of the steel and the value of the car. ecause it is based on

    value added, G 5 also increases when an enterprise reduces its use of materialsor other resources 0 3intermediate consumption 31 to produce the same output.

    The more familiar use of G 5 estimates is to calculate the growth of the economy

    from year to year 0and recently from #uarter to #uarter1. The pattern of G 5

    growth is held to indicate the success or failure of economic policy and to

    determine whether an economy is 3in recession 3.

    The most widespread belief among researchers and policy makers is that

    F ! boosts growth through different channels. !t increases the capital stock,

    stimulates technological change through technological diffusion and generates

    technological spillovers for local firms. Foreign investment is e8pected to

    increase and improve the e8isting stock of knowledge in the recipient economy

    through labour training, skill ac#uisition and diffusion. !t contributes by

    introducing new management practices and a more efficient organization of the

    production process. 2s a result, F ! improves the productivity of host countries

    and stimulates economic growth in terms of increase in G 5 .!nvestigating the

    impact of foreign capital on economic growth has important policy implications.

    !t is the creation of productive assets that e8pand an economy3s capacity to

    produce goods and services. 5rivate savings facilitate capital formation by

    allowing resources to be diverted to corporate investment rather than individual

    consumption. !t is very crucial macro economic parameter which determines the

    growth of an economy. ;ince F ! establishes backward and forward linkages withlocal industries, it can also encourage domestic investment by creating an

    enabling investment environment through transferring technologies and better

    management techni#ues. Transnational corporations typically have access to a

    wide variety of financing options. The risk"ad/usted cost of capital is usually

    lower for them than the domestic firms in developing countries. Foreign firms can

    undertake pro/ects for which domestic investors do not have the capacities to

    carry out or which are considered too risky for host country firms. !n such cases,

    F ! also serves to stimulate domestic investment by further boosting the total host

    country investment. F ! not only adds to e8ternal financial resources for host

    country development, it is also more stable than other forms of financing.
