Private Investment

A thriving private sector is essential to long-run development and the reduction of poverty in low-income countries. Foreign investment can also play a major role in promoting positive development outcomes. This page highlights CGD research on private investment, innovations in development finance, and privatization. It also includes work analyzing programs designed to encourage entrepreneurship and policies that affect the quantity and quality of capital flows to low-income countries. A recent book by CGD Non-Resident Fellow Ted Moran looks at the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on development and the implications for the lives of millions - if not billions - of workers, families, and communities in the developing world.
