Abstract

The presentation investigates the magnitude and the allocation of outward foreign direct investment (FDI) from the two principal investors, namely Hong Kong and Taiwan, and examines the drivers of FDI outflows (1999-2005). The bulk of Hong Kong’s overseas FDI is in services. The immediate destination for Taiwanese outward direct investment is China. Firms from Hong Kong and Taiwan were attracted by abundance of cheap labor and available land.
