Answer to Question 1

In favor: may help restore a healthy balance between debt and equity, which in turn provides greater flexibility in repayment of debt, and may help facilitate a privatization program. Against: leads to issue of high-powered currency (so may be inflationary) and in some indebted countries there is limited availability of companies in which foreign investors have an interest in purchasing. If the question is asked after Chapter 15 has been covered, pros and cons of MNCs in development may figure into the answers.

Answer to Question 2

A
