DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Considers how Nepal can improve its foreign direct investment (FDI) performance. Nepal's advantages include privileged access to a well-disposed neighboring country with a large market; a low-wage, trainable workforce; a flourishing local entrepreneurial culture in both small and large business; and established international recognition, thanks to tourist landmarks. Nepal has attracted modest FDI in niche sectors such as tourism, light manufacturing (apparel) and mineral deposits (lime stone). Investment is mainly in low-technology, labour-intensive production. The impact of FDI has also been modest, primarily in job creation. While the FDI laws were liberalized in 1992, there are still obstacles that investors face. The challenge for Nepal is to put in place an investor-friendly business climate that will complement its small bureaucracy. In the short term, Nepal can attract more FDI in its niche sectors such as tourism and production of herbs with special investment packages. Also, Nepal has to be proactive to derive further advantage from the Trade Treaty with India and its LDC trade preferences with developed countries. Improvement in the human resource base is needed in order to attract high-technology FDI.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →During the 1990s, the governments of South Asian countries acted as ‘facilitators’ to attract FDI. As a result, the inflow of FDI increased. However, to become an attractive FDI destination as China, Singapore, or Brazil, South Asia has to improve the local conditions of doing business. This book, based on research that blends theory, empirical evidence, and policy, asks and attempts to answer a few core questions relevant to FDI policy in South Asian countries: Which major reforms have succeeded? What are the factors that influence FDI inflows? What has been the impact of FDI on macroeconomic performance? Which policy priorities/reforms needed to boost FDI are pending? These questions and answers should interest policy makers, academics, and all those interested in FDI in the South Asian region and in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
