Roundtable on Private Investment in Emerging Economies

Roundtable on Private Investment in Emerging Economies

Directors: Hanya Marie Kim, and Albert Fishlow
December 1, 1997 - April 1, 1998

This roundtable stimulated discussion on the investment climate in emerging markets in the wake of the Asian financial crisis and other regional fluctuations. Particular stress was placed on geographic variations in the principal form of foreign commitment--direct participation as opposed to more limited financial instruments--and the impact of these investments on host countries and local economies.
