9. Concept Of FII:
OR INVEST
FOREIGN
INDIVIDUAL INSTITUTION
MARKET
If an investor, invests in the Indian Market by buying
debt or equity Instrument then he is basically
investing through the medium of FII
It is a Short Term investment made in the
markets of the country.
10. FOREIGN INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS
• “Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) are an investment fund or a gathering of
investors. Such a fund is registered in a foreign country, i.e. not in the country it is
investing in. Such institutional investors mostly involve hedge funds, mutual
funds, pension funds, insurance bonds, high-value debentures, investment banks
etc.”
• So when such FII’s buy shares and securities the market is bullish and trends
upwards. The opposite may also happen when they withdraw their funds from the
markets.
11. HOW FII STARTED IN INDIA?
• FII refers to outside companies investing in the financial markets of India.
• India opened its stock market to foreign investors in September 1992.
• Since 1993, received portfolio investment from foreigners in form of FII in
equities.
• This has become one of the main channels of FII in India for foreigners.
• In order to trade in Indian equity market foreign corporation need to register with
SEBI as FII.
12. WHERE FII CAN INVEST ?
• Securities in primary and secondary markets including shares,debentures and
warrants of companies, unlisted,listed or to be listed on a recognized stock
exchange in India.
• Units of mutual funds.
• Government securities.
• Commercial papers.
13. Advantages of FII’s
• FII’s will enhance the flow of capital into the
country
• These investors generally prefer equity over
debt. So this will also help maintain and even
improve the capital structures of the
companies they are investing in.
• They have a positive effect on the competition
in the financial markets
• FII help with the financial innovation of
capital markets
• These institutions are professionally managed
by asset managers and analysts. They
generally improve the capital markets of the
country.
Disadvantages of FII’s
• The demand for the local currency (rupee)
increases. This can cause severe inflation in
the economy.
• These FII’s drive the fortune of big companies
in which they invest. But their buying and
selling of securities have a huge impact on the
stock market. The smaller companies are taken
along for the ride.
• Sometimes these FII’s seek only short-term
returns. When they pull their
investments banks can face a shortage of
funds.
14. FDI vs FII
Control of
management
FDI being a direct form of investment into a foreign company, the investors are more interested and even get to
enjoy a higher control on the management of the company, even if it is in the foreign country.
On the contrary, FII just allows for funds to be invested into the financial market of the host country and
therefore, doesn’t have much hold onto the managerial decisions, or rather are referred to as just passive
investors.
Regulations on Entry
and Exit criteria
Truth be told, usually, there are more barriers on the entry and exit criteria of the FDI as opposed to the FII
which is pretty lenient in that case. For example, the nuclear energy sector does not allow for FDI.
What they result in? FDI for sure results in a long-term capital inflow, as it really takes time to settle from the planning and strategy
stage to the implementation and execution phase of a company.
On the other hand, for FII, their investment horizon entirely depends upon the current situation in the host
country’s economy, which when stable leads to long-term investments, and when turbulent, results in capital
pull back by the investors.
Economic development of
the host country
FDI results in the overall economic growth that is long-term by bringing in not only the capital into the host
country, but also takes it further on the route to development through new technology and infrastructure
investment, increasing new employment opportunities, increased skilled workforce by proper training, etc.
On the other hand, FII just brings in funds, which certainly does not help in the economic growth or increment
in the GDP of the host country as such. But it just adds into the capital in the economy.
16. STATUS OF FII IN INDIA

20. 1. Dumping
AT
“If a company exports a product at a price lower than the price it normally charges on its own home
market, it is said to be “dumping” the product. ”
– WTO
21. Impact of Dumping
• It can push the manufacturers and producers in the importing country
out of business – which leads to higher employment.
WTO Agreement
• Disciplines anti-dumping actions – “Anti-dumping Agreement”
Article VI of the GATT – the right of measures against imports of
a product at an export price below its “normal value” – if such
dumped imports cause injury to a domestic industry.
22. Issues with imposing Anti-dumping duties
• Increase of anti-dumping duties decreases the import of the targeted products
in that country – injury to the exporting country.
• Causal relationship between dumping actions and industrial injuries – affects
the economic relations between the countries.
Anti-dumping measures taken by countries in recent times
India imposed Anti-dumping duty on,
• 99 Chinese products on January 28, 2019 - includes chemicals & petrochemicals,
fibers & yarn, machinery items, pharmaceutical, rubber & steel.
23. 2. Agricultural Protectionism
It is a system of government measures to protect domestic agricultural
production from foreign competition, usually by preventing or discouraging of
imports.
Tariff protection involves; Tariff on cheaper imports, Quotas on imports,
Government subsidies to domestic farmers.
Reasons for Protectionism –
• Farmers have lower incomes and don’t tend to benefit from economic growth
(low income elasticity of demand for food)
• Farmers often a Powerful political lobby
• Farming plays an important role in rural areas
24. Problems of Agricultural Protectionism
• Foreign Farmers are worse off because they cannot export
• Higher Food Prices
• Cost to Government
• dead weight Economic loss
• Retaliation affects our exporters
Agricultural protectionism in recent time -
Food Protectionism in 2022
• it is on the rise in the developing world
• trying to safeguard local supplies – effects are threatening to spill over rich
economies.
25. • Restricting exports to cope with high prices – due to war in Ukraine.
• According to Flitch Solutions – 30 countries curbed exports by 28th May, 2022.
• Malaysia announced ban on chicken exports on 25th May – affecting Singapore –
imports a third of its supply from there.
• India curbed wheat and Sugar shipments.
• Indonesia – limited palm oil sales
26. 3. Economic Warfare
“Economic strategy utilized by belligerent nations with the goal of weakening the
economy of other nations.”
• Kaushik Basu says, “Economic warfare in a globalized world is so novel that we
do not yet fully understand it and have few rules to regulate it. There is no well-
defined list of punitive instruments, much less credible estimates of the direct and
collateral damage each is likely to cause.“
• The crucial instrument is sanctions – 3 stages – threat stage, limited use of
sanctions, economic warfare.
27. Economic Warfare in Recent time –
• US and Nato allies over Russia (Russia-Ukraine War)
• US sanctions on Cuba
• US sanctions on Iran
• US sanctions on Russia, Russia’s invasion of Crimea(2015)
• China Sanctions over Australia
28. 4. Price Fluctuations of Oil
• Oil price increases generally leads to increase inflation and reduce economic
growth.
• Oil prices directly affect the prices of goods made with petroleum products and
indirectly affect costs such as transportation, manufacturing, and heating.
• The extent to which oil price increases lead to consumption price increases
depends on how important oil is for the production of a given type of good or
service.
• Despite these effects on supply and demand, the correlation between oil price
increases and economic downturns in the U.S. is not perfect. Not every sizeable
oil price increase has been followed by a recession. However, five of the last seven
U.S. recessions were preceded by considerable increases in oil prices (Sill 2007)
• geopolitical tensions cause price fluctuations.
29. Recent Rise in Oil Prices and its impact –
• Demand for oil plunged in 2020 during the pandemic when lockdowns led the
price to fall below zero first time in history due to a major downturn in economic
activity.
• Post that, Oil prices have since risen sharply to nearly $100 per barrel due to,
economic recovery post-lockdowns – so does the demand for oil.
rising geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle
East – stoking supply fears.
To counter the impact of Oil prices – World needs an Energy transition.
Let us clarify, both FDI and FII are forms of foreign investment in a country. However, they are starkly different in nature, target, and consequences. Let us study the differences between the two to understand them better.
