Malaysia: high tech or no chance
Article Abstract:
Strong economic growth in Malaysia has allowed the country to attract considerable foreign investment. However, only foreign investors which have a high-technology product or one which is made in a high-technology way will be really successful in Malaysia. It is vital that there is a clear element of technology transfer from west to east. The labour market has become very tight, and this is having an impact on Malaysia's attractiveness as a manufacturing location.

Chile: South America made easy
Article Abstract:
Chile's economy expanded by 8.4% in 1995, and the country attracted direct investment of a record $3 billion. Its economic growth is being fuelled mainly by its political stability and its great richness in natural resources. The government's programme of infrastructure development is serving to attract further inward investment. UK companies in particular look set to benefit, as the UK has long-standing trading connections with Chile.

Indonesia: the place to be
Article Abstract:
Indonesia is currently enjoying economic growth of around 7%, having attracting strong inward investment over recent years. However, there are still economic and political uncertainties there, particularly in relation to moves by the government to limit the rising current-account deficit. Some sectors of the economy have expanded so rapidly that there is now growing concern about shortages of human resources.
