Africa: How to increase Asian FDI to Africa

How might African countries attract a greater proportion of Asian foreign direct investment (FDI)? A new book by UNCTAD first looks for answers to this question through an examination of the role that FDI played in both the successful economic development strategies of East Asia, and in the Asian financial crisis. It then considers the implications of these experiences to identify the policies and institutions needed to increase Asian FDI in five countries of Africa: Botswana Ghana Madagascar, Mozambique and Tanzania.
