This publication asks why Africa’s share of global non-extractive Foreign Direct Investment has been declining. The authors argue that part of this trend can be traced to lingering sentiments against foreign capital reinforced by local politics that help to create a difficult business environment. However, the paper concludes that many of the African objections to foreign investment are exaggerated or false. Thus the authors call upon the African governments to take positive steps to attract more FDI.
