foreign investment
Cross-border money deployment
Foreign investment is the commitment of capital by individuals, companies, or governments into assets or businesses in another country.
Direct foreign investment means owning or controlling operations abroad: The automaker's foreign investment included building factories in Mexico.
Portfolio investment means buying foreign stocks or bonds without operational control.
Countries court foreign investment for jobs and development, though critics worry about outside control of domestic resources.
