| Summary: | Recently, the Singapore government has, on several occastons, encouraged
Singaporeans to sprout the "second wing" of our economy, with a view of complementing
the domestic economy. Tiris, coupled with the foreign governments' introduction of various
reforms and new industrial policies, has provided excellent opportunities for entrepreneurs
to invest overseas. In particular, the Singapore government has encouraged Singaporeans
to invest in emerging economies in the region such as China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam and
Myanmar.
11ris project is aimed at studying the trend in Singapore's foreign direct investments
abroad, with special attention to the above-mentioned countries. It was conducted mainly
through two methods as outlined below:
• An extensive literature revtew of newspaper articles , publications by international
accounting finns and statutory boards.
• A study of the location-specific theory to identify pull and push factors affecting
investment decisions.
We begin our study by providing an overview of the trend in Singapore's foreign
direct investments (FDI) abroad over the past 15 years. As the FDI abroad increased
tremendously in the late eighties, we analyse this phenomena using pull and push factors
via an investment theory, namely the location-specific theory. |
