Article Abstract:

Economic growth is fueling the growth of global facilities. In particular, the emerging economies of East Asia, Latin America and former Eastern bloc countries are contributing to the explosion in global business ventures outside the US. Companies such as General Motors, Ford, General Electric, Motorola and Chrysler, which a survey has shown are the most active in global facility location, are opening production operations in developing countries to take advantage of opportunities for sales and profits that are opened by these countries.

In the US, where privatization has been spearheaded by independent power producers, local governments are increasingly supplementing bond issues with grants, state revolving loans and sales taxes. Overseas investments, however, have been constrained by the Mexican peso devaluation crisis which highlighted the political and financial risks associated with foreign investments.
