foreign investments
Cross-border capital placement
Foreign investments are assets or ownership stakes held in one country by entities based in another.
A company might make foreign investments by building factories abroad or buying shares in overseas corporations.
Governments track foreign investment flows as indicators of economic confidence and global integration: Foreign investment in the tech sector surged last year.
The term covers both direct investment (controlling stakes in businesses) and portfolio investment (stocks and bonds without operational control).
