Inbound foreign direct investment is declining an alarming rate, casting shadows on the nation's viability as an industrial powerhouse in Northeast Asia.

The fall needs to be arrested quickly and a return is needed to its past peak level in the neat future. The amount of money that multinational corporations bring into the nation this year to start new business or expand their existings operations is projected to drop to $1.2 billion. That looks too small when compared with $10.6 billion in 1999 and $10.2 in 2000. In the aftermath of the Asian financial crisis, the nation had to increase FDI by all means possible as a major source of foreign currencies, which it desperately needed to replenish the finace minister and

other high ranking officer pleaded to chief executive offlcers of multinational corporations to invest in the nation. Their efforts paid off as the figures showed. If the nation badly needed FDI to fight the financial crisis, it needs it just as much new for different reasons. FDI is vital to create jobs, boost econmic recovery and supplement domestic corporate investment in raising the nation's growth potential. Many of the multinationals investment inraising the also bring in advanced managerial skills and technology to produce high-end products. The spillover

from them benefits domestic corporations. These textbook benefits are not the only reasons why the nation needs the increasing presence of multinational corporations in its business activities. Of greater importance are their potential corporations to the efforts to establish the nation as a business hub in Northeast Asia. The nation cannot become a powerful regional player if it is shunned as a potential host for multinational corporations'

regional headquaters for production, research and development. But the reality is woefully disappointing. only seven multinationals set up regional march 2003, compared with 46 in Singapore, 44 in Hong Kong and 29 in China. There may be no easy answers to why the nation is performing so badly. But there is no arguing that one major obstacle is the extremely adversarial relationship between labor and management.
