Metaxas, Theodore and Kechagia, Polyxeni (2015): FDI in Peru and Uzbekistan: A comparative analysis in brief.

Abstract

The majority of the developing economies worldwide use foreign capitals inflow so as to achieve economic growth. The host countries proceed to economic and political transformations so as to improve their attractiveness and to become top foreign direct investment destinations. In addition, the foreign inflows enable the host country’s productivity rates and improve the standard of living. A significant amount of these capitals are directed in the developing economies of the Latin American and the Post – Soviet Central Asian countries. The cases of Peru and Uzbekistan are chosen among these developing economies of the regions so as to investigate the impact of the foreign inflows on the economic growth of these countries.
