The Impact of Liberalizing Barriers to Foreign Direct Investment in Services
Author: Jesper Jensen
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category : Free trade
Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
The authors estimate that Russia will gain about 7.2 percent of the value of Russian consumption in the medium run from WTO accession and up to 24 percent in the long run. They estimate that the largest gains to Russia will derive from liberalization of barriers against multinational service providers. Piecemeal and systematic sensitivity analysis shows that their results are robust."--Abstract.

Liberalizing Financial Services and Foreign Direct Investment in the WTO, Assessing the Effect of the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) on Foreign Bank Presence in the OECD Region
Author: Laura Páez
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
The present study conducts an economic assessment of the impact financial services liberalization on foreign bank presence, in the context of the World Trade Organization (WTO). It focuses on how the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) affects foreign direct investment (FDI) of commercial banks. For this purpose, an empirical model is developed to test how country-specific locational factors, as well as membership to the GATS and regional trade agreements (RTAs) affect commercial banking FDI. The model is run with FDI flow data for selected GATS signatories during 1990-2004, a period in which membership to several RTAs, as well as progress in GATS liberalization was observed. The findings show there is a strong positive relation between commercial banking FDI and a set of locational factors. Further evidence on the impact of membership to some RTAs in the country sample is found. However, no evidence on the positive impact of GATS liberalization on FDI is found. Considering the results, countries seeking to attract greater FDI will fare better if they improve their location factor conditions unilaterally. The value of the GATS for the present rests on its binding effect on the current level of liberalization. Future trade rounds may bring more promising results for financial services; given that the built-in progressive liberalization agenda of the GATS is an ongoing process.

Services Liberalization in ASEAN
Author: Tham Siew Yean
Publisher: ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute
ISBN: 9814786187
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 403
Book Description
The services sector plays an important role in ASEAN economies as it accounts for about half of the region’s GDP and more than 45 per cent of its total employment. ASEAN aspires to deepen integration in the services sector in order to enhance the sector’s contribution to economic development and growth in each country. Despite this, services liberalization has progressed slowly compared to goods liberalization both at the multilateral and the regional levels. Different regulatory mechanisms across countries have contributed to the slow pace of liberalization.

Foreign Direct Investment and Structural Reforms
Author: Nauro F. Campos
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 46
Book Description
This paper investigates the role of structural reforms -financial reforms, trade liberalization, and privatization- as determinants of FDI inflows based on newly constructed dataset on structural reforms for 19 Latin American and 25 Eastern European countries between 1989 and 2004. Our main finding is a strong empirical relationship from reforms to FDI, in particular, from financial liberalization and privatization. These results are robust to different measures of reforms, split samples, and potential endogeneity and omitted variables biases.

Trade in Financial Services and Capital Movements
Author: Ms.Natalia T. Tamirisa
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 145185126X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 23
Book Description
International financial liberalization may alter saving-investment imbalances and patterns of capital flows across countries. In a panel of OECD countries for 1990–96, this study examines how the liberalization of capital movements and financial services trade affects net private capital flows. Capital inflows tend to fall (rise) with the liberalization of commercial presence in banking and securities (insurance) services, possibly reflecting an increase (decrease) in saving. Capital account liberalization is found to stimulate capital inflows, suggesting that better access to external financing helps sustain larger fiscal and current account deficits. When cross-border trade is liberalized, capital flows change insignificantly.
