This document discusses foreign investment in India, including foreign direct investment (FDI) and foreign institutional investment (FII). It provides background on the Indian economy and types of foreign capital. FDI occurs when an investor in one country acquires assets in India to manage them. India is an attractive destination for FDI due to factors like its large market, skilled labor force, and tax incentives. FII involves foreign companies purchasing equity on Indian stock markets for short-term gains. The document compares the differences between FDI and FII and concludes that most developing countries now view foreign investment positively due to changes in their political and economic systems over the last few decades.

22. CONCLUSION
• The last two decade of the 20th century witnessed a
dramatic world-wide increase in foreign direct investment
(FDI), accompanied by a marked change in the attitude of
most developing countries towards inward FDI.
• As against a highly suspicious attitude of these countries
towards inward FDI in the past, most countries now regard
FDI as beneficial for their development efforts and compete
with each other to attract it.
• Such shift in attitude lies in the changes in political and
economic systems that have occurred during the closing
years of the last century.
