Developing nations, in particular, consider FDI as the safest type of International capital flows out of all the available sources of external finance available to them. It is during 1990s that FDI inflows rose faster than almost all other indicators of economic activity worldwide.

Most of our finances have diverted to non-development expenditure, which led less capital in our country.
