However, promotion of increased foreign investment within APEC is not nearly as strong as advocacy of freer trade in goods and services.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, increased foreign investment can conceivably play as important a role in economic development as increased international trade in goods and services because permitting greater capital mobility allows investment to occur in places where capital can be used more productively.<\/p>\n<p>At the microeconomic level foreign direct investment in particular should be welcome because it delivers productivity gains via technology transfer, international management practices and product development and can spur greater domestic competition and imitative behaviour by existing locally-owned firms.<\/p>\n<p>At the macroeconomic level, foreign capital inflow in aggregate improves economic welfare to the extent that it frees the nation from the constraint of its own saving level. As the above theory suggests, without foreign capital inflow, the level of long-term interest rates would also be higher, as the economy would then be totally reliant on domestic sources of funds to finance its investment requirements.<\/p>\n<p><em>Article by Tony Makin, Director, APEC Study Centre, and Professor, Griffith Business School.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peru is the host country for APEC deliberations this year, culminating in the APEC Economic Leaders\u2019 Meeting in late November.
