Exercise 29

Foreign Direct Investment
Use the globalEDGE Resource Desk (http://globaledge.msu.edu/Reference-Desk) to complete the following exercises:
You are working for a company that is considering investing in a foreign country. Management has requested a report regarding the attractiveness of alternative countries based on the potential return of FDI. Accordingly, the ranking of the top 10 countries in terms of FDI attractiveness is a crucial ingredient for your report. A colleague mentioned a potentially useful tool called the FDI Confidence Index , which is updated periodically. Find this index and provide additional information regarding how the index is constructed. As a part of the recommendations in your report, be sure to evaluate the variation in confidence of the top countries. This provides an additional level of stability in your analysis.
