| Abstract | What Is Foreign Investment? Foreign investment is essentially the total purchases of domestic assets or claims by foreigners. Since the mid 1980s, foreign investment has become more and more important to the U.S. economy. Foreign investment helps to finance the large U.S. federal government deficit, as well as provide much needed capital for investment in new plant and equipment. Foreign investment was growing so fast in the late 1980s that economic journalists were able to raise the spectre of foreign ownership and control of the U.S. economy. In the early 1990s, the growth in foreign investment slowed, and the alarm died down somewhat. Recently, however, the level of foreign investment has risen again to an all time high. |
