MSc Project Report
School of Mining Engineering
Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment / Globalization has created investment opportunities for enterprises
around the world. Attracting foreign investment into developing regions
has been a key challenge in the strategies for economic growth and
poverty reduction of developing countries. Overall, the results of
foreign investment have been disappointing in some countries. Recent
studies confirm that factors such as corruption, political instability,
armed conflict, and other non-commercial risks have negatively
impacted foreign direct investment inflows.
However, there is renewed hope among government personnel that
private investment can play an increasingly significant role in helping
economic` growth. As host governments, international corporations,
investment banks and multilateral insurance agencies learn from the
mistakes of the past and commit themselves to improve the
environment for business for mining industry, the prospect for the
future brightens. Moreover, foreign investors are recognizing that if the
host government can create a competitive environment, investments in
developing countries have the potential to be highly profitable.
It is hoped that this research effort will contribute in some way to better
understand the inability of some countries to attract FDI. The current
situation in developing countries is of particular relevance to the theme
of this research project. The study compares non-commercial risk
ratings for foreign direct investment inflows compiled for ten selected
countries. The matrix provides a comparative assessment of noncommercial
risk ratings, and highlights the importance of country risk
and event risk as components of a composite risk rating.
