Foreign direct investment ireland 2016

"FDI net inflows are the value of inward direct investment made by non-resident investors in the reporting economy. FDI net outflows are the value of outward direct investment made by the residents of the reporting economy to external economies" (datahelpdesk, 2018). Ireland is more located in the areas that are big air routes and also sea routes. I do believe that when a country is more located to these types of routes then they are going to make more profit and more investments as well. Ireland inward flow in 2016 was 22,304 million and Japan it was 11,388 million. As you can see Ireland numbers are bigger and I believe it is because of where they are located at. The economy there seems very stable and strong. When it comes to Japan has faced many issues as far as environmental issue and their economy is not as strong. Ireland is the country that more investor are interested.'

Hi everyone,

Foreign Direct Investment or FDI is by definition the investment in new facilities to produce or market in a foreign country. FDI is an existential cause in better a country by investing your resources to potentially make your country and the country that is marketed to more effective is achieving their goals or sustaining citizens. In 2017, expenditures for acquisitions[in the United States] were $253.2 billion, expenditures to establish new U.S. businesses were $4.1 billion, and expenditures to expand existing foreign-owned businesses were $2.4 billion. Planned total expenditures, which include both first-year and planned future expenditures until completion for projects initiated in 2017, were $278.0 billion (bea.gov, July 11, 2018). We as the U.S. states are not perfect, but we have astute individuals who are Americans and are really good at making a profit. Taking Ireland and Japan for instance, Ireland was estimated to have made $28 million in inward FDI flow with a 33.6% rate in 2017 and an outward flow of $18 million with a 21.6% rate in 2017. Where as Japan has an inward FDI flow of and made over $10 million with a .9% rate in 2017 and an outward flow of $160 million with a 14.2% rate. These numbers vary tremendously and this is only an example, but it can be applicable to each country. Each country varies and differs for FDI flows and stocks. There are are a multitude of factors that make up why these countries inflows. Japan prefers to market more to the other counties and brings in a predominate amount of there FDI profits that way. Ireland brings in profits from FDI inflows more than outflows. each country play to their strengths and weaknesses and FDI is only one instance.
