“…They emphasize that FDI accelerates the host countries' economic growth (le Clus-Rossouw et al, 2015). Several studies find that FDI contributed to the economic growth in many countries such as Slovakia (Szkorupová, 2014), Malaysia (Alzaidy et al, 2017), Pakistan (Ali and Hussain, 2017), Vietnam (Nguyen, 2020), Cambodia (Sokang, 2018), Albania (Boriçi and Osmani, 2015), Bosnia and Herzegovina (Susic et al, 2017), Nigeria (Udeh andOdo, 2017), andGhana (MENSAH, 2020). Studies reveal that FDI positively impacts a country's productivity (Damijan et al, 2018) and the total factor productivity (Arisoy, 2012).…”

“…The country implemented structural reforms, including the privatization and liberalization of the economy, with the aim of attracting foreign investment and stimulating economic progress (King & Vullnetari, 2003).

Albania experienced irregular economic growth, which was related to institutional and political changes, which had a considerable influence on population mobility. According to INSTAT despite a dramatic fall in rural poverty to 15% in 2009, unemployment remained high, particularly among young mothers, who retreated from the labor market in large numbers after communist control of the labor market terminated mandatory participation. The methodology used in this study consists merely of the conducted research and data collection. Initially, various research was carried out to understand the changes in population size and the main problems that caused the movement. Around 75% of Albanian emigrants currently call Italy and Greece home, with the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Belgium following closely after. According to research conducted by British government authorities in August 2022, 1727 Albanian entries were recorded in May and June 2022, particularly in comparison to just 898 between 2018 and 2021, implying that Albanians made up between 50 and 60 percent of irregular small boat migrants' arrivals. The methodology used in this study consists merely of the conducted research and data collection. Initially, various research was carried out to understand the changes in population size and the main problems that caused the movement. The most often claimed motivation was economic, which was frequently tied to political instability. Most male migrants to the UK go alone; however, they may rely on family members and trusted contacts as well as less trusted and frequently unscrupulous agencies along the way. A result of this research paper is that Albanians are migrating because of poverty. Albania is facing a catastrophic demographic decline as a result of reduced birth rates and increased emigration. This research paper aims to address several reasons why Albanian inhabitants seek to move abroad.

The extent of research into the determinants of foreign direct inflows to particular locations is expansive and diverse; however, little is known of the influence of country images as non-financial determinants on the inflow of foreign capital. In contributing to this body of knowledge, this article aims to explore the influence of tourism as a non-financial nation image determinant of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Zimbabwe. The relationship between tourism and the four distinct forms of FDI opportunities in Zimbabwe, market-, resource-, efficiency- and strategic-asset seeking is examined. Empirical data were generated from a final purposively sampled survey population of 305 foreign investors who had applied to invest in Zimbabwe between January 2009 and April 2015. Multiple statistical techniques were employed including exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression using STATISTICA 12 software. As it emerged, eight variables were identified as constituting Zimbabwe’s tourism nation brand image. Empirically, the results of this article affirm the influence of tourism as a non-financial determinant of market-, efficiency- and strategic asset-seeking FDI opportunities in Zimbabwe.
