A
Foreign Direct Investment
( FDI ) is a controlling ownership in a business enterprise in one country by an entity based in another country.
Foreign direct investment
is distinguished from portfolio
foreign investment
, a passive
investment
in the securities of another country such as public stocks and bonds, by the element of “control”. According to the Financial Times , “Standard definitions of control use the internationally agreed 10 percent threshold of voting shares, but this is a grey area as often a smaller block of shares will give control in widely held companies. Moreover, control of technology, management, even crucial inputs can confer de facto control.” [1] The origin of the
investment
does not impact the definition as an FDI, i.e., the
investment
may be made either “inorganically” by buying a company in the target country or “organically” by expanding operations of an existing business in that country.
