explanation Explanation: "Inward investor" is a foreign investor in a country from the point of view of that country. Say, if a US company is investing in the UK, than this company is called "inward investor" in the UK, and "outward investor" in the US. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2005-01-14 13:49:07 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Example: http://www.no-euro.com/mediacentre/dossiers/display.asp?IDNO... Britain attracted the second largest amount of inward investment after the US last year, defying predictions that its status outside the eurozone would deter foreign firms... The US, which is still the number one destination for foreign investors, saw inflows drop from $301bn in 2000 to $124bn last year. Britain attracted $54bn in foreign investment in 2001, against $116bn the previous year. The impact on Britain\'s attractiveness as a host for investment is one of the government\'s five tests for deciding whether to join the euro. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2005-01-14 16:24:12 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here is a definition of \"inward investment\": monies flowing into a country that originate from other countries. E.g a Japanese company building a factory in South Wales. www.bized.ac.uk/current/supplement/2002_3/feature2_010103.h... |
