Foreign direct investment in Africa- Mali attracts foreign investment

Abstract

In general African countries have not been very successful in attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Some by their (abundant) natural resources and the size of their domestic market were able to attract multinational companies. We estimate FDIBC function which indicates that Mali has generated the interest of international investors by improving his business environment, suggesting that one country can become competitive internationally and attracts FDI on a sustainable basis. © 2006 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
