2. INTRODUCTION
• Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI) as a growth-enhancing component
has received great attention of developed countries in general and less
developed countries in particular in recent decades.
• FPIs increase the liquidity position of local economy and then FPIs help
to improve the Foreign Reserves that results in a stabilize exchange
rate.
• Secondly FPIs induce new invests in the economy hence the rate of
investment increases and lastly, FPIs are also helpful and encourages
existing business firm to expand their businesses through raising their
equities by issuance of new securities in the market.
• This enhancement of efficiency due to internationalization makes the
market more liquid, which leads to a lower cost of capital. The cost of
foreign capital also tends to be lower, because the foreign portfolio can
be more diversified across the national boundaries and therefore be
more efficient in reducing country-specific risks, resulting in a lower risk
premium.
• A well-developed stock market has its impact on the demand side also.
It provides investors with an array of assets with varying degree of risk,
return and liquidity.
