| World foreign direct investment flows fell moderately in 2008 following a five-year period of uninterrupted growth, in large part as a result of the global economic and financial crisis.The decline poses challenges for many developing countries, as FDI has become their largest source of external financing. The impact is analysed in detail in the first part of this his year’s World Investment Report.The Report also examines the role that transnational corporations (TNCs) play, and can play, in agricultural production in developing countries. |
