Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Since the 1980s, foreign direct investment (FDI) has undergone dramatic growth into various world regions. The dollar volume of FDI has grown immensely, especially into advanced (or developed) economies such as Japan, Europe, and North America. FDI inflows were interrupted in 2001 with the worldwide panic that ensued following the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States, but the trend remains strong and is growing over time.

Of particular significance is the growth of FDI into developing economies, nations with lower incomes, less developed industrial base, and shortage of investment capital. Most of the developing economies are located in parts of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Despite poor income levels, developing economies collectively comprise a substantial and growing proportion of international trade and investment activities.
