Foreign Direct Investment in Brazil and China : A Comparative Study

The history of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in Brazil and China was briefly reviewed. We examine from a contemporary policy perspective, trends and patterns, sector distribution, and productivity and growth in both countries. The comparative study of FDI in Brazil and China from the historical and contemporary perspective examines the importance of foreign capital in each stage of development in terms of various aspects we have proposed. This study also provides an understanding of FDI in both countries on the policy grounds. As far as growth and productivity is concerned. FDI has contributed to the economic development in both Brazil and China. However, the impact on the growth is only partial and will rely on other factors as well.
