| description |
This report discusses the patterns of
foreign direct investment flows and trade-investment
inter-linkages in Southern Africa. It will discuss how
cross-border investment flows create a possible channel of
growth spillover from South Africa and other MICs to LICs in
the subregion, and identify the roles of subregional trade
and investment flows in generating these neighborhood
effects with LICs. After an introduction with background on
the subregion of Southern Africa, Section 2 provides facts
on the patterns of trade in Southern African countries to
illustrate how much (or little) the Southern African
subregion is integrated today and whether or not
intraregional trade is growing. Section 3 presents
aggregate trends in foreign direct investment flows (and
stocks) in SSA, discusses how SASR is situated in such
trends, and analyzes the emerging trends of intra-SASR
cross-border investments, largely driven by South Africa.
Section 4 analyzes trade-investment linkages in Southern
Africa at the firm level. Section 5 discusses areas of
domestic policies in enhancing trade and foreign direct
investment in Southern Africa. Section 6 summarizes the
findings from this analysis and discusses their policy implications. |
