Kofi A. Annan (pf). Annual report by the UN that examines issues related to foreign direct investment (FDI). Looks specifically at the impact of such investment on key aspects of economic development -- increasing financial resources, enhancing technological capabilities, boosting export competitiveness, generating & upgrading employment, & protecting the environment. While FDI can contribute to economic growth & development, it is not a panacea. It can complement & catalyze economic activities & the performance of domestic enterprises, but in some circumstances it may also hinder them. Public policy matters at the national & the international levels.
