Podcasts about foreign direct investment fdi

India has recently witnessed a dramatic decline in net Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), sparking concerns across economic and policy circles. In this episode, we explore the key factors behind this unexpected fall and what it could mean for the country’s growth trajectory. While foreign investment continues to come in, a surge indisinvestments and capital outflows as part of the IPO wave last year sharply reduced the net gain. What’s causing global investors to pull back? And why are Indian companies increasingly investing abroad instead of at home? Host Anirban Chowdhury speaks to ET’s Gayatri Nayak and Indranil Sengupta, noted economist and professor at Shiv Nadar University, to look beyond the headline numbers and see whether this is the sign of a maturing economy. They also examine how India’s position in the global investment landscape is shifting, especially as other emerging economies attract greater attention. Is this just a temporary correction due to global uncertainty, or are deeper structural issues at play?

IDA Ireland, in collaboration with Microsoft and LinkedIn, has published the latest in its Labour Market Pulse report series, which provides insights and trends from the Irish labour market to help inform decision-makers across business, academia and public policy. As the global economy pivots toward sustainable practices, Ireland has the potential to become a leader in this transition, thanks to its ambitious climate goals, desire to attract more green-focused Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), and growing demand for specialised green skills across industries. With LinkedIn data revealing that the percentage of job postings requiring green skills in Ireland is one of the highest internationally, with one in eight (12.4%) Irish jobs now requiring at least one green skill, this Labour Market Pulse encourages all citizens, businesses, and educators to embrace and invest in green skills development to prepare for Ireland's low-carbon future. The global demand for green skills is rapidly outpacing supply, with estimates indicating that by 2050 twice as many jobs will require green expertise than there will be people qualified to fill them. LinkedIn data saw demand for green talent grow by over 22.1% last year - well above the global average of 11.6% - demonstrating a strong and immediate need to upskill the workforce to keep up with the demands of the green economy. This trend has been evident for an extended period now with LinkedIn's analysis also highlighting that demand for green skills in Ireland grew at twice the rate of the rest of the world - 11.9% vs 6% - between 2021-2024. Furthermore, it green talent has become highly attractive to employers, as job seekers in Ireland with green skills or titles achieve a 79.8% higher hiring rate than the workforce overall. Ireland's Climate Action Plan 2024 has locked critical sustainability targets into legislation, mandating that by 2030 80% of the nation's electricity will come from renewable sources. To support these goals, IDA Ireland has facilitated over 50 green investments, fostering a diverse ecosystem of innovation. From wind turbine technologies to AI-driven energy distribution, companies are investing in Ireland's sustainable future, creating new jobs in green sectors. Green skills are most concentrated in industries like Utilities, Construction, and Manufacturing, with skills such as Environmental Impact Assessment and Operational Efficiency among the fastest growing in demand. However, the need for skills in areas like sustainable supply chain management, pollution prevention, and renewable energy is spreading rapidly to other industries, such as professional services, financial services, and technology. To support this need Skillnet Ireland's Ireland Talent Landscape 2024 report highlights that over 59% of businesses see upskilling in sustainability as critical to their future success. Green skills development is not only vital for environmental goals but also serves as a key driver for economic growth, innovation, and job creation. Michael Lohan, CEO, IDA Ireland said: ''I welcome the data insights which show that the green economy is a rapidly growing sector, with demand for green talent increasing by 11.6% from 2023 to 2024. Sustainability is a key focus in IDA's strategy, and we are committed to helping multinationals in Ireland achieve their sustainability goals. IDA have facilitated 50 green investments so far, and we are looking forward to continuing that progress.'' Commenting on the Labour Market Pulse, James O'Connor, Microsoft Ireland Site Lead and Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Global Operations Service Center, said: "As Ireland advances on its sustainability journey, it is important that every community, business and individual has the right capabilities to support the green transition. Published today, the Labour Market Pulse highlights the need for greater investment in green skills across key industries to accelerate a zero-carbon future for Irela...

Ever wondered if the Indian stock market still needs Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) now that domestic investors are stepping up? Shray and Deepak chew over this hot topic in our latest episode. They examine questions like whether foreign investors are responsible for recent market declines, who the primary owners of Indian companies are, and why foreign ownership is decreasing. They discuss the impact of regulatory changes, such as increased KYC requirements and the end of tax benefits for investments through Mauritius, Singapore, and Cyprus. The episode also delves into the differences between Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) and Foreign Direct Investors (FDIs), as well as the significance of retail and domestic investors in the market. The hosts conclude by discussing the future of foreign ownership and whether retail investors should continue their systematic investment plans (SIPs). With retail investment soaring, the influence of foreign money seems to be waning—or is it? They also discuss the consequences of significant foreign withdrawals during global crises and compare the patterns of FII with Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), highlighting the intricate details of market shifts. They also take a look at global capital flows through the case studies of Hyundai's, Holcim and British American Tobacco among others. Tune in to understand why studying both FII and FDI activity is crucial for grasping the bigger picture of market behavior.   More about us: https://cm.social/pms Schedule a call with us: https://cm.social/pms-connect   Deepak's Twitter: @deepakshenoy Shray's Twitter: @shraychandra Capitalmind Twitter: @capitalmind_in Deepak's first book: http://amzn.to/3CgkGea

If you work across time zones, borders and cultures, this is the show for you. In the Weekly Concept series, Leo aims at defining a topic in international business. These are shorter episodes to illustrate key concepts in this discipline. Today we present the concept of Foreign Direct investment (FDI).  Foreign Direct Investment is a significant aspect of international economics, representing a long-term investment made by an individual or entity in one country into business interests in another country. FDI plays a crucial role in the global economy, promoting economic growth, enhancing productivity, and providing access to new markets and technologies.

Ireland's attractiveness as a location for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) remains strong according to the latest EY Attractiveness Survey Ireland. Almost eight in ten (79%) key investment decision makers expect to establish or expand operations here in the next 12 months, and two in three (66%) expect that Ireland's attractiveness as an FDI location will improve in the coming three years. Investors have highlighted that the right mix of skills in our workforce, together with continued focus on improving geographic balance and infrastructure, are important areas for Ireland to bolster its appeal as a location for FDI. They also recommended supporting high-tech industries and innovation. These are some of the key findings of the latest EY Attractiveness Survey Ireland published today, which surveyed FDI decision-makers globally in Q1 2024 to understand their sentiment towards Ireland and their view of the drivers to ensure continued attractiveness. This research builds on the wider EY European Attractiveness Survey, which was published in May. Following a challenging 2023 for FDI across Europe, a large majority of business leaders (79%) surveyed said they plan to expand or establish their operations in Ireland in the next 12 months, up significantly from just over half (53%) in 2023. Two-thirds (66%) say they expect Ireland to become more attractive to FDI over the next three years - up from 46% in the previous survey. Positive investment intentions were particularly strong amongst Financial Services (95%), Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals (90%) and very large company (89%) investors. On a geographic basis, the survey showed a broad regional spread, with some investors considering more than one location as an attractive location for future investment. Dublin ranked highest (47%), with the Southeast (41%) and Mid-East (38%) also performing strongly. Feargal de Freine, Assurance Partner and Head of FDI at EY Ireland, says, "While 2023 was a subpar year for FDI projects across Europe and in Ireland, investor sentiment remains positive. Ireland's FDI model has been highly successful for decades, centred on talent, business-friendly policies, stability and access to Europe's single market. However, the global FDI landscape is changing and becoming more challenging. It is therefore important to understand investor perspectives and competitor offerings to ensure the continued relevance and attractiveness of the Irish proposition." Focusing Policy on Skills, Regions and Infrastructure Many factors investors consider when choosing where they should invest - such as financial market conditions and interest rates - are external and outside of Ireland's control. Our survey respondents said that domestic policy should focus on improving the skills of the workforce (36%), geographically rebalancing the economy (32%) and investing in transport (29%), energy (27%) and connectivity (23%). Dr. Loretta O'Sullivan, EY Ireland Partner and Chief Economist, says "The turning interest rate cycle bodes well for an uplift in international investment. While geopolitical and electoral uncertainty is a headwind, businesses are undertaking digital and sustainable transformation programmes and exploring AI technology. To attract the drivers of next-generation economic growth, Ireland should leverage its traditional strengths, hone its new capabilities and stay agile." A digital front-runner, Ireland should capitalise on its AI credentials Ireland is well regarded when it comes to technology and is seen as having strong AI credentials, including opportunities to invest in start-ups, a supportive policy framework, a strong ecosystem, and an AI-ready workforce. Positively, the vast majority of multinational companies currently located here rate their Irish workforce better or as well as other countries in areas such as innovativeness, autonomy, problem solving and proactiveness meaning there is a real 'AI-opportunity' for Ireland to seize. Feargal de Freine say...

Maintaining competitiveness is vital for a highly open economy such as Ireland's. In his first public address since stepping down as CEO of IDA Ireland, Martin Shanahan discusses Ireland's current environment as a location in which to do business and its future outlook.

In episode #30 of AHK Vietnam Podcast, we invite you to join us in a talk show where the host and our guest speakers have discussed the drivers of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Vietnam and the crucial role that German education and training systems play in the country's development. Nowadays, Vietnam constantly attracts significant amounts of FDI not only from small and medium-sized enterprises but also from large corporates, especially for German companies which are now diversifying their interest in Asia. One of the key factors driving this growth is the young and willing-to-learn population, and that's why we want to explore how remarkably suitable education and training affect the quality of the labour force in Vietnam.  Dr. Tomas Benz, President of the Vietnamese German University (VGU), and Marko Walde, Chief Representative of AHK Vietnam were bringing to the table insightful contributions from the perspective of an “educator” and a “consultor”. Join us to understand how German strong education and training system plays a significant role in the country's economic success and how German dual vocational education and training in Vietnam contribute to the FDI landscape in Vietnam.  To meet the high demand from numerous foreign companies in Vietnam for finding skilled workers, it is crucial to improve the education and training system. This improvement must happen not only in universities, colleges, or institutions but also in terms of vocational training programs since it is highly valued by German investors. While technological development has made a progress and amazed the world with various applications of AI, young people must put more effort into developing skills and expertise to remain competitive and keep up with global trends. All of these aspects would be raised and enlightened in this talk show guided by the host – Ms. Trang Dao, Head of Business Development Services of AHK Vietnam. So, sit back, relax, and join us for this informative and engaging episode.  *** The talk show is part of AHK Vietnam's campaign to celebrate 10 years of our Vocational Education and Training (VET) project in Vietnam since 2013.

IDA Ireland and Skillnet Ireland have launched a strategic talent development partnership.

The pilot programme ran successfully and is now up and running with companies in financial services, biopharmaceutical, aviation communications, manufacturing, and software development sectors. Speaking at the event launch, Robert Troy, Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment said: “In our current global environment, with rapid digitalisation and the need to be more environmentally sustainable, the talent and skills needed to stay apace with these important developments are continuously evolving, and it is vital that businesses can efficiently and effectively fulfil these needs. “For businesses across Ireland, particularly MNCs, the value of attracting and retaining talent cannot be understated. Ireland is renowned for developing and nurturing talent and the Government continues to prioritise responding to current and future labour market skills needs. The partnership between IDA Ireland and Skillnet Ireland is an important step to ensure Ireland remains an attractive and competitive place to live, work, and invest.” Niall Collins, Minister of State at the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science added: “I am pleased to be launching this new Strategic Partnership between Skillnet Ireland and IDA Ireland, a partnership which is critical to support the long-term success and growth of multi-national companies in Ireland through innovative and high-impact talent development programmes and initiatives. As the economy continues to grow post-pandemic, investing in and developing talent remains vital for FDI companies so they can meet their ongoing business challenges. The contribution of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to the Irish economy is far-reaching and intrinsic to our economic development making collaborations like this all the more important to Ireland's long-term economic success.” Mary Buckley, Executive Director, IDA Ireland, said: “We are delighted to be working with Skillnet Ireland on our new Strategic Talent Development Partnership. The partnership supports IDA's clients to build a robust approach to long-term talent development that will support the sustainable growth of their Irish operations within an increasingly competitive global environment. Strategic talent development planning is increasingly important for enterprises to meet changing demands and Skillnet Ireland business networks can bring new opportunities for IDA's clients. In fact, IDA client companies who have participated in the programme are already realising added value to their operations. As this partnership evolves IDA will expand its offering to provide more strategic programmes and deepen our collaboration with Skillnet Ireland.” Lynda Boylan, Head of Strategic Partnerships, Skill...

Our topic today? Foreign Direct Investment, also known as FDI. Vocabulary Economic territory: the areas under the effective economic control of a single government. Residence: the economic territory where the enterprise has its main economic interest. Foreign Parent: A foreign parent an owner residing outside the host country which has at least 10 percent ownership in the enterprise. Inward Flow: This measure captures FDI from one market to the host country. Outward Flow: This measure captures FDI from the source to a foreign country. Discussion Most economists agree that foreign direct investment (FDI) is beneficial for the economic development of the host country –– and by “host country”, I mean the economic territory that receives the investment. The benefits of FDI are many and can include the creation of new jobs, especially if the investment is used for the construction of new projects. Also, for developing economies, FDI can be key for bringing new technology into the country. Some countries benefit more from FDI than others because the nature of the investment can create an important multiplier effect, for example through the use of local production of materials for construction. It is possible to identify the direct impact of FDI on economic development through the national accounts, however FDI could also have many indirect impacts that are more difficult to capture––such as the development of human capital. Generally speaking, developing economies receive a net inward flow of FDI and developed economies a net outward flow. That makes sense, richer countries invest in poorer countries where local funding is scarce. For example, in a country with plentiful natural resources, a large investment could be necessary to develop them. What can be some of the disadvantages of FDI? The disadvantages of FDI could be that the revenues from the investment don't necessarily stay in the economic territory, but rather flow across the border to the foreign parent. Depending on the scale of the economy of the host country, the outward flow of profit remitted to the foreign parent can even provoke a trade deficit.

भारत की लगभग 58 प्रतिशत आबादी के लिए कृषि आजीविका का प्राथमिक स्रोत है। भारतीय खाद्य उद्योग, वानिकी और मछली पालन, कृषि से जुड़े कुछ ऐसे क्षेत्र हैं जिनमें हमारे देश में रोजगार सृजन करने की अपार संभावनाएं हैं। वर्तमान में, ये क्षेत्र हमारे देश में नए नए अविष्करों और स्टार्टअप्स के लिए भी पसंदीदा केंद्र बन हुए हैं। अकेले भारतीय खाद्य प्रसंस्करण उद्योग मैं अप्रैल 2000 और मार्च 2020 के बीच विदेशी प्रत्यक्ष निवेश (FDI) के रूप में लगभग 9.98 बिलियन अमेरिकी डॉलर का निवेश हुआ है। राह की इस कड़ी में, होस्ट तरुण निर्वाण ने चौधरी चरण सिंह नेशनल इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ एग्रीकल्चर मार्केटिंग (NIAM) में निदेशक के पद पर कार्यरत डॉ रमेश मित्तल जी से बात की और उनसे जानने की कोशिश की इस क्षेत्र में उपलब्ध रोज़गार के अवसरों को और उनको हासिल करने के लिए किस तरह के शिक्षण और प्रशिक्षण की जरुरत पड़ती हे। (Agriculture is the primary source of livelihood for about 58 per cent of India’s population. The Indian food industry, forestry and fishing are some of the associated fields of agriculture which too have immense potential to generate jobs in our country. Currently, these fields have also become the hotbed for innovations and startups in our country. The Indian food processing industry alone has cumulatively attracted Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) equity inflow of about US$ 9.98 billion between April 2000 and March 2020. In this episode of Raah, the host Tarun Nirwan speaks with Dr Ramesh Mittal, Director at Ch. Charan Singh National Institute of Agricultural Marketing (NIAM) (https://www.ccsniam.gov.in/) who tells us more career opportunities and required education to gain employment in the sector.)

Ireland's ability to attract and nurture major multinational companies is world-renowned. The FDI sector has been credited with helping Ireland emerge from the last recession, and, today, multinationals employ almost 250,000 people in Ireland and contribute over €22bn to the economy.  At the heart of that success story lies the IDA. The semi-state body, responsible for promoting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Ireland, has helped this country compete on a global scale in the face of intense competition. Martin Shanahan became CEO of the IDA in 2014 and in that time has overseen record levels of FDI employment, exceeding targets set by government in the body's most recent 5-yr strategy. Shanahan is keenly aware of where Ireland once was, and how Foreign Direct Investment has been pivotal in turning the country into a successful, modern economy.  In this episode of The EY Podcast: CEO Series, Martin Shanahan tells Richard Curran about his journey from hotel management to CEO of one of the country's most important agencies, applying his ‘get stuck in' philosophy at every step along the way. In his role, Shanahan must design a successful strategy in the face of unpredictable global forces such as Brexit, challenges to Ireland's corporate tax rate, and the COVID-19 crisis. In this interview, he outlines his approach to this challenge, and talks about many other topics besides, including: The most common questions that the bosses of multinational companies ask about Ireland (how highly corporate tax rate ranks on that list may surprise people)   His reaction to the recent ruling by the European General Court on Apple's tax liabilities in Ireland Why he does not believe that the growth of multinationals has contributed to rising house prices and a shortage of supply.  The skills he looks for in an IDA team member The big sectors of the future and the opportunities for Ireland as a result His business mantra, favourite book and film, and advise for other CEOs  

The World Bank said Ugandan economic growth is set to plunge to as low as 0.4% in 2020 from 5.6% last year as the coronavirus crisis batters the east African economy ahead of presidential elections set for 2021. A report released on Wednesday said the pandemic is expected to hit tourism, exports, and remittances. It is also likely to damage investments in the country where long-awaited oil production could commence by 2022. The report added that the fiscal deficit would rise to between 7% to 8.9% of GDP next year from pre COVID-19 levels of 5.8%, fuelled by a steep drop in tax revenues. The report said, COVID-19 was resulting in lower exports, tourism, remittances, as well as a sizable deceleration in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows and government project financing.

Most countries, and many big cities and regions, have Investment Promotion Agencies (IPA), that promote Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) through advertising and exhibitions. If the target has already decided on the country, and it’s a matter of promoting one region or city, perhaps these help. However, I don’t think this is the right way to get new converts. Here's why...

Episode 7 examines foreign direct investment (FDI) in terms of types, motives, effects and theories.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has the potential to transform a community's economic development efforts. In many ways it is the same as domestic company attraction, retention and expansion. But there are very important differences that need to be taken into account in order for a community's FDI investment to bear fruit. This week Ed Burghard speaks with Chris Steele COO and President of Investment Consulting Associates (ICA), an expert in the field of foreign direct investment. Chris describes what it takes for an EDO to have a successful FDI effort.

About Sidharth Birla: Sidharth Birla, President of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) – India’s apex business organization – will be leading a delegation comprising about 10 CEOs heading organizations in diverse industry sectors in India. This visit will be held on the eve of the Indo-German Investment Summit in Berlin. It is a great opportunity for business leaders from both India and Germany to explore ways of collaborating in order to realize the tremendous business potential between the two nations. Unlike other emerging economies that are being hit more severely by diminished growth prospects in the developed world, the Indian economy is poised to be an investment destination of choice for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), with favorable demographics, a large and diversified domestic market, and competitive cost structures. Against this backdrop, Sidharth Birla will address the audience with a keynote speech highlighting the prospects, as well as challenges, for FDI in India. The keynote will be followed by a panel discussion, in which Sidharth Birla will be joined by three other CEOs from Indian and German bodies. This discussion will provide the opportunity to discuss specific campaigns and reform initiatives like Make in India, Digital India, Smart Cities, and so forth, in greater detail. It will also set the stage for a Q&A session with the audience.
