Foreign Direct Investment and Risks in Asia and Africa

Md Mahbubur Rahman

Abstract: Foreign investors worldwide are interested in investing in developing countries in Africa and Asia. Currently, these two continents are still rich in abundant resources, both human and natural resources. This wealth is a large business and a significant opportunity for foreign investors to gain many profits. As a foreign investor, doing business in a foreign country requires awareness, consideration, and evaluation of risks unique to its environment. These necessarily involve knowledge of the politics, economics, legislation, and, of course, the social and cultural traits of the community. ?nv?stm?nt proj??ts ar? ?ss?nt?ally subj??t?d to var?ous forms of r?sk that ?an hav? ?mpa?ts on th? p?rforman?? ?xp??t?d by b?n?f???ar??s.
