For developing economies, the question they may reasonably ask is: ‘Can we get a share of this inflow of capital?’ Table 1 summarises global patterns of FDI in recent years. It shows a 238% increase in aggregate FDI over the period 1994 to 1999. This comprised a 338% increase in FDI into developed countries and a 98% rise in the inflows to developing economies.

Even China, the much vaunted star of foreign investment, has only performed ‘steadily’ when benchmarked against global aggregates. The table shows, using Vietnam as a benchmark, that Turkey has not done very well in aggregate terms when compared with newer emerging economies over the past decade.
