- Title

- Abstract
The article discusses the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI), trade and trade-related policies in various countries in Africa. In Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, tariffs and market price support may have an effect on how FDI is distributed geographically. In 2002, the distribution of outward stock was 87% for OECD countries and 13% for non-OECD member. The estimated share of FDI that Africa received in 2003 was two percent, the smallest share of any region. To increase a broader distribution of FDI, the coordination of policies between countries to promote economic development is necessary.
