8. CONCLUSION
The increased flow of FDI in a country has
given a major boost to the country's economy
FDI has provided better access to technologies
for the local economy
FDI has lead to indirect productivity gains
through spillovers
Multinational firms have increased the degree of
competition in host-country markets which will
force existing inefficient firms to invest more in
physical or human capital
