The Impact Of Fdi And On Indian Stock Market

Foreign direct investment (FDI) has taken a growing and extraordinary role in international business. Foreign investment has had a positive impact on the United States’ general economic growth through the creation of employment, attraction of capital investments, and expansion of manufactured exports. It has also brought international brand names and skilled labor to the country and facilitated the transfer of technology and knowledge to the local economy. The domestic market has greatly expanded due to job creation achieved from infrastructural developments. In the U.S., the stock market is a fundamental segment of the state’s financial system that acts as a source of financing and is a key determinant in the economy of the country. It is right to argue that foreign direct investment has a positive impact on the United States’ stock market.

Foreign Direct Investment refers to the type of investment into a country that is characterized by the inflow of funds from a foreign source that can be in the form of ownership such as stocks, bonds, infrastructural presence, etc. by the element of ‘control’. FDI is defined as the net inflows of investment to acquire a management interest (10 percent or more of voting stock) in an enterprise operating in an economy other than that of the investor.

There is growing consensus among researchers and academicians that in this globalized world the burden of private investment is increasing over Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Because of a declining trend in public investment the task of capital formation rests over the shoulder of private investment and thus FDI playing a leading role in determining the fate of the economy. The economies receiving more inflow of FDI, are realizing a comparatively high growth and vice-versa. This is also expected to be happen in India. The present paper discusses the relationship between the inflow of FDI and GDP. It has been found that FDI has a positive correlation with GDP. the regression analysis between GDP and FDI of different sectors also supported the same result which shows that FDI inflow in India is playing very important role in determining the size of GDP.

Abadie and Gardeazabel (2007) agreed that the stock markets are the main source of FDI, it is well known. But foreign firms that have been purchased through the stock market are in desperate need of financial services. This way, as a prospective investor makes decisions regarding his investments, he will be able to take into account the country’s financial development and banking development, and determine how such factors will ultimately affect their investments

The correlation between foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth is well documented see (Borensztein, De Gregorio, J-W. Lee 98). Even though there has been an extensive amount of research, which includes both FDI and economic growth, there still seems to be a substantial divide between the results; which are concluded within these papers. To begin in this research paper we will define foreign direct

Kolstad and Villanger (2008) showed that the relationship between FDI and GDP is always positive. When the GDP increases, it means the economy of a country is growing, when the condition of the country is stable, it will attract more foreign investors to invest in the country and thus result in the increasing of FDI. The positive relationship also supported by Oyatoye,Arogundade, Adebisi and Oluwakayode (2011).

Based on OECD Factbook 2013: Economic, Environmental and Social Statistics, Foreign direct investment defined as cross-border investment by other investors from the economy that had the objective to gain long term interest or benefit from other countries that need capital for development. FDI have divided into 3 categorty such as Horizontal FDI, plaform FDI and vertical FDI. Kimberly state that Foreign direct investment is global economic growth which are apply in all countries such as developing and emerging market countries.

The factors involved in process of economic growth of nations have transformed overtime, from savings to trade, foreign investment and human capital base of the country. With opening up of the economies and the formation of multiple agreements among the countries, trade and FDI have become the major medium of accord among the economies. There has been surge in FDI inflows ever since the countries adopted liberalisation policies across the globe. The countries have been looking for policies to attract more FDI by boosting investment climate in their countries, to finance their process of growth and development.

By using monthly time series data, we found that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is positively affecting the economic growth direct contribution, while Foreign Institutional Investment (FII) is negatively affecting the growth alb its, in a small way and make a preliminary attempt to test whether the international capital flows has positive impact on financial markets and economic growth. The empirical analysis using the time series data between April 1995 to December 2004 shows that FDI plays unambiguous role in contributing to economic growth.

High inflow of foreign investment is needed for a country to gain a high sustainable economic growth. For an economy to grow by 7 to 8 percent a year, there is a need to invest about 30 to 40 percent of GDP. FDI is good and strong developmental equipment that contributes to the economic growth of host country. This growth are contributed by the high increase of capital stocks in the host country, increase in productivity and availability or creating of new jobs. These new creation provided by FDI also leads to productivity and knowledge spillover on the domestic firm. Productivity and knowledge spillover increases when the productivity of the local firm is gained through the leading edge of technologies employed by the foreign companies. However, there is some negative impact on this because the foreign firm or investor has the ability to draw the demand away from the local firm because of the price of reduction to their new different and innovative products or goods and due to this, the local firm’s productiveness will decrease because of the market run down by the foreign firm or investor. The ability of a local firm to take the spillover benefits is dependent on how the local firm takes in the foreign firm skills and technological know how.

It is a well-known fact that there has been an increasing interest in emerging markets shown by foreign investors. Investing in emerging markets is risky on the one hand, but can offer attractive returns on the other hand. Over the last few years, countries from Eastern Europe and from the Former Soviet Union have encountered rapid productivity growth that has raised the living standards and has lowered the level of poverty (World Bank, 2008). One of the new attractive destinations preferred by investors is the Black Sea area and specifically Romania. However, by having been closely linked to the other former Soviet republics, all

After getting independence in 1947, the government of India envisioned a socialist approach based on the USSR system to developing the country’s economy. The last decade of the 20th century witnessed a drastic increase in foreign direct investment (FDI), accompanied by a marked change in the attitude of most developing countries towards inward investment. FDI flows have grown in importance relative to other forms of international capital flows, and the resulting production has increased as a share of world output.. FDI in India has in a lot of ways enabled India to achieve a certain degree of financial stability, growth and development during recession. This money has allowed India to focus on the areas that may have needed economic attention and address various problems that continue to challenge the country. The factors that attracted investment in India are stable economic policies, availability of cheap and quality human resources, and opportunities of new unexplored markets. Mostly FDI are flowing in service sector and manufacturing sector recorded very low investments. The investments in service sector enhanced the benefit of flow of funds to the home country.
