Promotion of foreign direct investment. Examples from the Asia-Pacific region

Summary/Abstract: The importance of foreign direct investment (FDI) for economic development focuses attention on the attraction of FDI and establishment of investment promotion programmes. Such programmes are usually conducted by investment promotion agencies (IPAs). The Asia-Pacific region is a very attractive place to locate foreign direct investment. The leader in the region is China, which absorbs the lion’s share of world’s FDI. Other countries absorb less than the leader, but still they are very popular among investors. All of the countries use investment promotion programmes that are conducted by investment promotion agencies. The purpose of this article is to identify and characterise the solutions used by IPAs from the region. Many of them are considered one of the best in the world, responding to customer needs – their organisation and the tasks carried out serve as an example for other countries, including Poland.
