Abstract
![CDATA[Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the world economy had increased by 38% in 2007 compared with a 29% increase in 2005 (UNCTAD, 2007). FDI can yield major direct economic benefits such as capital formation, tax revenues and employment and indirect long run benefits including a positive influence on the performance of the domestic firms in the host country (Blomstrom and Kokko, 2001). When developing economies are the host economies, they receive the benefits of employment generation, skills and technology transfer, exports and economic development and productivity improvements (UNCTAD, 2007).]]
