	Inward investment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Inward investment is the injection of money from an external source into a region, in order to purchase capital goods for a branch of a corporation to locate or develop its presence in the region.
		Inward investment creates jobs in an area and brings wealth into the economy.
		Some places do however attract inward investment due to their relative remoteness, for example a company wanting to recruit personnel with relatively common skills might deliberately relocate to an area where wage rates are relatively low, a factor that could arise because of the absence of similar jobs or localised underemployment.

		U.S. outflows in foreign direct investment hit $252 billion versus $141 billion in 2003 while inward investment rose to $107 billion from a historically low $67 billion in 2003, the OECD said.
		France and Germany both registered sharp decreases in inward investment which the OECD said in a report were largely due to repayments of inter-company loans that shifted money abroad.
		Inward investment flows to the OECD area were the lowest in seven years at $407 billion but still better than much of the 1990s, the OECD said, noting that sliding inflows had initially been U.S.-induced but were now due to continental Europe.

		Large scale inward investment into Scotland was declared dead under Robert Crawford’s stewardship of Scottish Enterprise when the popular idea was that Scotland needed higher-value jobs while the bigger projects had to be considered lost to low-cost locations such as China and Eastern Europe.
		Ironically, the only inward investment of any significance into Scotland since then has been an influx of jobs for call centre staff, many of which are semi-permanent and low paid.

		Thus, between 1990 and 2002, the value of total inward FDI stock in electricity, gas and water rose from an estimated $10 billion to $144 trillion (mainly due to a large increase in FDI in electric power generation and distribution).
