Titre : World Investment Report 2003 : FDI Policies for Development : National and International Perspectives Type de document : document multimédia Auteurs : UNCTAD, Auteur Editeur : United Nations Année de publication : 2003 Format : CDRom Note générale : CDR-44 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Finances internationales Tags : Entreprises multinationales Investissements Finances Index. décimale : CD-rom Résumé : Global FDI inflows declined in 2002 for the second consecutive year, falling by a fifth to $651 billion—the lowest level since 1998. Flows declined in 108 of 195 economies. The main factor behind the decline was slow economic growth in most parts of the world and dim prospects for recovery, at least in the short
term. Also important were falling stock market valuations, lower corporate profitability, a slowdown in the pace of corporate restructuring in some industries and the winding down of privatization in some countries. A big drop in the value of cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&As) figured heavily in the overall decline.En ligne : http://www.cetim.ch/fr/multimedia_cd-rom.php World Investment Report 2003 : FDI Policies for Development : National and International Perspectives [document multimédia] / UNCTAD, Auteur . - [S.l.] : United Nations, 2003 . - ; CDRom.

Titre : World investment report 2007 : Transnational corporations, extractive industries and development Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : UNCTAD, Auteur Editeur : United Nations Année de publication : 2007 Importance : 291 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Nations Unies Tags : Sociétés transnationales Industrie minière Développement IDE Pays en développement Pays développés Index. décimale : 06.03 Bretton Woods Résumé : World Investment Report 2007 (WIR07) is the seventeenth in a series published by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). The Report analyses the latest trends in foreign direct investment (FDI) and puts a special focus in 2007 on the role of transnational corporations (TNCs) in the extraction of oil, gas, and metal minerals.
Higher prices for many minerals have led to renewed investor interest in the extractive industries. TNCs ? including some of the world´s largest corporations ? play a key role in the mining of metals and in the extraction of oil and gas. Privately owned TNCs dominate the harvesting of metal minerals, while State-owned companies from developing and transition economies are key players in oil and gas. Many such State-owned firms are emerging as TNCs in their own right.
Drawing on unique data, the Report examines TNC involvement in the extraction of mineral resources and maps the key countries and companies. It also discusses how the forces driving investment change as raw materials progress up the "value chain" to become finished products, and as different types of companies participate. In view of recent discussion of the so-called "resource curse," the Report explores how the participation of TNCs may help or hinder long-term, broad-based economic development in developing countries -- the best approach for reducing poverty and raising living standards. It considers how energy and mineral extraction can help governments achieve such aims.
As in previous years, WIR07 presents the latest data on FDI and traces global and regional trends in FDI and in international production by TNCs. Global FDI inflows rose in 2006 for the third consecutive year. This growth was shared by all major country groups: developed countries, developing countries and the transition-economies of South-East Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States . Rising demand for commodities was reflected in a steep increase in natural resource-related FDI, although the services sector continued to be the dominant recipient of FDI. Among the developing regions, FDI inflows to subregions such as North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, West Asia, South Asia, East Asia, and South-East Asia were at record levels, as were foreign investment flows to transition economies.En ligne : http://archive.unctad.org/Templates/WebFlyer.asp?intItemID=4361&lang=1 World investment report 2007 : Transnational corporations, extractive industries and development [texte imprimé] / UNCTAD, Auteur . - [S.l.] : United Nations, 2007 . - 291 p.

Titre : World investment report 2009 : Transnational corporations, agricultural production and development Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : UNCTAD, Auteur Editeur : United Nations Année de publication : 2009 Importance : 278 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Entreprises multinationales Tags : Sociétés transnationales Agriculture Développement IDE Résumé : Amid a sharpening financial and economic crisis, global FDI inflows fell from a historic high of $1,979 billion in 2007 to $1,697 billion in 2008, a decline of 14%. The slide continued into 2009, with added momentum: preliminary data for 96 countries suggest that in the first quarter of 2009, inflows fell a further 44% compared with their level in the same period in 2008. (...) A slow recovery is expected in 2010, but should speed up in 2011. The crisis has also changed the investment landscape, with developing and transition economies’ share in global FDI flows surging to 43% in 2008. There are also signs that some countries have begun to discriminate against foreign investors and/or their products in a “hidden” way using gaps in international regulations. Examples of “covert” protectionism include favouring products with high “domestic” content in government procurement (particularly huge public infrastructure projects), de facto preventing banks from lending for foreign operations, invoking “national security” exceptions that stretch the definition of national security, or moving protectionist barriers to subnational levels that are outside the scope of the application of international obligations (e.g. in matters of procurement). Looking to the future, a crucial question is which FDI policies host countries will apply once the global economy begins to recover. The expected exit of public funds from flagship industries is likely to provide a boost to private investment, including FDI. This could possibly trigger a new wave of economic nationalism to protect “national champions” from foreign takeovers. IIAs have a role to play in ensuring predictability, stability and transparency of national investment regimes. Policymakers should also consider strengthening the investment promotion dimension of IIAs through effective and operational provisions. Investment insurance and other home-country measures that encourage outward investment are cases in point where continued international cooperation can be useful. All of these developments, as well as impacts of the crisis on FDI flows and TNC activities, have had different effects on the pattern of FDI by region.

Titre : World investment report 2011 : Non-equity modes of international production and development Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : UNCTAD, Auteur Editeur : United Nations Année de publication : 2011 Importance : 226 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Entreprises multinationales Tags : Investissements IDE Sociétés transnationales Politiques de développementPolitique industrielle RSE Production Résumé : lobal foreign direct investment (FDI) has not yet bounced back to pre-crisis levels, though some regions show better recovery than others. The reason is not financing constraints, but perceived risks and regulatory uncertainty in a fragile world economy.
The World Investment Report 2011 forecasts that, barring any economic shocks, FDI flows will recover to pre-crisis levels over the next two years. The challenge for the development community is to make this anticipated investment have greater impact on our efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals.
In 2010 – for the first time – developing economies absorbed close to half of global FDI inflows. They also generated record levels of FDI outflows, much of it directed to other countries in the South. This further demonstrates the growing importance of developing economies to the world economy, and of South-South cooperation and investment for sustainable development.
Increasingly, transnational corporations are engaging with developing and transition economies through a broadening array of production and investment models, such as contract manufacturing and farming, service outsourcing, franchising and licensing. These relatively new phenomena present opportunities for developing and transition economies to deepen their integration into the rapidly evolving global economy, to strengthen the potential of their home-grown productive capacity, and to improve their international competitiveness.
Unlocking the full potential of these new developments will depend on wise policymaking and institution building by governments and international organizations. Entrepreneurs and businesses in developing and transition economies need frameworks in which they can benefit fully from integrated international production and trade. I commend this report, with its wealth of research and analysis, to policymakers and businesses pursuing development success in a fast-changing world.En ligne : http://archive.unctad.org/templates/webflyer.asp?docid=15189&intItemID=2983&lang [...] World investment report 2011 : Non-equity modes of international production and development [texte imprimé] / UNCTAD, Auteur . - [S.l.] : United Nations, 2011 . - 226 p.

Titre : World investment report 2013 : Global value chains, investment and trade for development Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : UNCTAD, Auteur Editeur : United Nations Année de publication : 2013 Importance : 236 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Investissements Commerce et développement Politique d'investissement Politique de développement Index. décimale : 03.03 Ressources naturelles Résumé : The 2013 World Investment Report comes at an important moment. The international community is making a final push to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by the target date of 2015. At the same time, the United Nations is working to forge a vision for the post-2015 development agenda. Credible and objective information on foreign direct investment (FDI) can contribute to success in these twin endeavours.
Global FDI declined in 2012, mainly due to continued macroeconomic fragility and policy uncertainty for investors, and it is forecast to rise only moderately over the next two years.
Yet as this report reveals, the global picture masks a number of major dynamic developments. In 2012 – for the first time ever – developing economies absorbed more FDI than developed countries, with four developing economies ranked among the five largest recipients in the world. Developing countries also generated almost one third of global FDI outflows, continuing an upward trend that looks set to continue.
This year’s World Investment Report provides an in-depth analysis, strategic development options and practical advice for policymakers and others on how to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks associated with global value chains. This is essential to ensure more inclusive growth and sustainable development.En ligne : http://unctad.org/en/pages/PublicationWebflyer.aspx?publicationid=588 World investment report 2013 : Global value chains, investment and trade for development [texte imprimé] / UNCTAD, Auteur . - [S.l.] : United Nations, 2013 . - 236 p.
