摘要：Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays an important role in the expansion of the economies within developing countries. There has been an increase in world FDI flows in 2011, up by 16% as compared with 2010. It was caused by the high profits of a number of Transnational Corporations (TNCs) and high economic growth in developing countries. This accounted for 45% of world FDI in 2011, which was about $684 billion.
