International Investment

International investment refers to the allocation of capital across national borders with the objective of generating returns. This can be in the form of foreign direct investment (FDI), where an investor or company establishes business operations or assets in a different country, or through portfolio investment, which involves purchasing stocks, bonds, or other financial instruments in foreign markets. International investment allows investors to diversify their portfolios, access growth opportunities in emerging markets, and potentially achieve higher returns than those available in their home countries. It plays a crucial role in global economic integration, fostering cross-border trade, and facilitating the flow of capital, technology, and expertise between nations. However, it also entails risks including currency fluctuations, political instability, and varying regulatory environments.
