| dc.description.abstract | This study investigates the sect oral and geographical distribution of the approved foreign direct investment (FDI) in Ethiopia between 1992 - 2000. It is observed that, sect orally, FDI is mainly concentrated in consumer goods manufacturing and processing. Agriculture, real estates, construction, and hotels and tourism have also claimed substantial proportions of the approved FDI, in that order. Fishing, and mining and quarrying attracted the least amount of FDI. The relative shares of health and education were also low. The present Investment Code is argued to have a strong influence in causing this sect oral pattern as the Code maintains such entry restrictions as high minimum capital requirements and a list of several areas reserved for domestic investors. Regional considerations show that FDI is predominantly situated in Addis Ababa. The Oromia, Asmara and Afar regional states have also taken sizable proportions of the approved FDI. No foreign private company expressed its interests to invest in Benishangul-Gumuz and Somali regional states during the period under reference. The study argues that the regional distributions of FDI are largely determined by the level of economic development of the regions (in relative terms) such that the better the availability of infrastructural facilities the larger the flow of FDI, other things being constant. | en_US |
