dear all
can someone help me with the trends in FDI in Asia over the last 50 years
This question is rather broad and should be narrowed down to particular regions or countries, as Asia includes very heterogeneous countries. In the broadest terms, there is a strong increasing trend in foreign direct investment inflows in Asian countries, particularly after the 1990s. It has been strongly affected by the Global financial crisis, although there was a full recovery in the case of East-Asian economies and a much more unstable recovery in the case of South-Asian economies. It could be argued that in many of these countries, the investment was export-oriented and vertical, fueling the exports and economic growth of the host countries, and being a significant contributing factors their overall economic success (particularly in the case of Asian tigers). I would like to emphasize that this is a very broad generalization and that a country-level analysis would be much more meaningful.
I provide some data on general foreign direct investment trends for broad Asian regions:
