Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) represents the net inflows of investment to acquire a lasting management interest in an enterprise operating in an economy other than that of the investor. It is a critical indicator of an economy's long-term attractiveness and its integration into the global supply chain. Unlike portfolio investment, FDI involves a significant degree of influence and a long-term commitment to the host country's business environment.
Calculated as the sum of equity capital, reinvestment of earnings, and other long-term capital transfers between foreign investors and domestic enterprises.
