“…These rising debts have forced investors to leave the emerging markets and focus their attention on developed economies. Although South Africa still practises inflation targeting, Bano and Tabbada (2015) suggest that inflation targeting in South Africa has a negative impact on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which makes it more volatile. In a country like South Africa where the economy is dependent mostly on commodities, the inflation backlash from commodity prices does put severe pressure on the monetary policy.…”

“…In a country like South Africa where the economy is dependent mostly on commodities, the inflation backlash from commodity prices does put severe pressure on the monetary policy. This implies rising commodities prices resulting in rising inflation (Bano & Tabbada, 2015). Ajilore and Ikhide (2013, p. 363) argue that there is no substantial evidence that South Africa's' inflation targeting will reduce pressure on monetary policy.…”

This paper dealt with the regulatory and policy variables influencing Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in South Africa. Since the advent of democracy 26 years ago, South Africa had its own share of benefits from democratic rule. This was the period of great success, and three free and fair elections were held without violence and intimidation. The South African government started using the “inflation targeting monetary policy framework” to have an environment where inflation will stabilise. Although in literature it is stated that many governments have adopted this policy in order to lure investors in through their attractive risk‐free returns in their investment portfolios. The paper used unobtrusive techniques to analyse secondary data. The South African investment climate remains faced with challenges, which curtail the full attainment of conditions conducive for quality FDI. When regulations are made less cumbersome, it becomes simpler for investment to flow into the country, and international and local entrepreneurs prosper as the ease of doing business improves. South Africa does not have a complex regulatory framework, but its challenges stem from a lack of regulatory transparency, which impeded investment. TISA the agency, which DTI created to reduce obstacles encountered in FDI offers foreign investors clarification on the regulatory and legal environment. Many countries have also cancelled their BITs with South Africa, including Ecuador, Bolivia, and Venezuela. South Africa's business environment and its investment climate are largely dependent on the events that occur in the political arena and the economic environment.

“…There is growing evidence of results-based financiers and insurers investing across Asia, rather than in individual countries, for better risk spread (Nanto, 2011;Gray, 2008;and Moody-Stuart, 2006). Literature indicates that destination of foreign direct investment is correlated to high levels of gross domestic product, high domestic savings, large foreign reserves and export orientation (Bano and Tabbada, 2015). Quantum of inflows may vary with the level of development.…”

The low energy symbiosis for development metabolism is reviewed for its potential to enhance the implementability of the Sustainable Development Goals. Metabolism is the carrying capacity limit of rural-urban or rurban eco-systems, that is self-replenishable through endurability drawn from metabolic processes. This research paper probes the symbiotic common-ground for sustainability for the shared value-based policy metabolism, deployed on emerging Asia. The unified motivation would be to co-implement quantum innovations and adaptations on governance mechanisms to usher pathways on symbiosis for sustainability. Intended outcomes are budgeting social metabolism, symbiotic scale-up that would attain efficiency and practicality. An important destination is trust renaissance developed on common-ground challenges facing the aspirational low carbon Energy-Asia. This conceptual paper posits a dual aimed methodology. (i) Where low carbon Energy-Asia would like to be for symbiotic common-ground for sustainability through trust renaissance and, (ii) what shared value policy trajectory should be plugged-in for healthy metabolism into their symbiotic development strategy. The unified motivation would be to co-implement quantum innovations and adaptations on governance mechanisms to usher pathways on symbiosis for sustainability.

“…FDI usually flows from more developed or capital-rich countries to less developed or capital-scarce countries. In recent years, a new phenomenon has emerged as FDI flows from developing to developed and other developing countries have improved significantly (Bano and Tabbada 2015). Consequently, this study attempts to fill this gap in the literature by focusing on the relationship between domestic output and outward FDI from less developed Asian economies to more developed countries.…”

This study evaluates the impact of outward foreign direct investment (FDI) on domestic output of East Asian economies. It focuses on FDI from eight East Asian economies to Japan, the United States and United Kingdom. The analyses are carried out using annual data at both aggregate and disaggregate level for the 1981-2010 period. The result using aggregate data reveal that there is no evidence to support the idea that outward FDI is growth-enhancing. However, the results based on disaggregate data shows that only outward FDI to the United States are found to benefit East Asian economies. Meanwhile, investments in Japan and the United Kingdom do not appear to have any positive impact. These findings suggest that locational decision for outward FDI is critically important as not all destinations will bring positive benefits for the source countries. ABSTRAK Kajian ini menilai impak pelaburan langsung asing (FDI) ke atas keluaran domestik ekonomi Asia Timur. Ia memberi tumpuan kepada FDI dari lapan ekonomi Asia Timur ke Jepun, Amerika Syarikat dan United Kingdom. Analisis dijalankan menggunakan data tahunan pada tahap agregat dan bukan agregat bagi tempoh 1981-2010. Hasil kajian menggunakan data agregat mendedahkan bahawa tidak ada bukti yang menyokong idea bahawa FDI keluar meningkatkan pertumbuhan. Walau bagaimanapun, keputusan berdasarkan data bukan agregat menunjukkan bahawa hanya FDI ke negara Amerika Syarikat didapati memberi manfaat kepada ekonomi Asia Timur. Sementara itu, pelaburan di Jepun dan United Kingdom kelihatan tidak mempunyai kesan positif. Penemuan ini menunjukkan bahawa keputusan pemilihan lokasi untuk FDI keluar adalah sangat penting kerana tidak semua destinasi akan memberi manfaat positif kepada negara sumber.
