          The Opportunity of Foreign Direct Investments in South Africa

          December 22, 2021

          In order to widen the grasp of organizations’ reach and exploit the opportunities of the global market, a prevalent globalization strategy is for firms to engage in foreign direct investments.
          Foreign direct investments (hereafter referred to as FDI) are described as when a resident entity decides to engage in physical investments in a foreign enterprise. The resident entity’s intentions are to obtain a “lasting interest” and a significant degree of influence in the foreign enterprise. The term “lasting interest” infers that the resident entity aims to establish a long-term relationship in order to exploit locations, knowledge, and resources.

          The concept of successfully utilizing FDI tends to present an argument for having a double benefit as the achievement helps and induces growth in an organization. It can also play a crucial role in the economic development of a foreign country.

          Blossoming With Technology Development

          According to the international trade administration, South Africa demonstrates alluring technology factors, with one of the largest ICT (information and communications technology) markets in Africa. The country is leading in the continent in both mobile software, security, and electronic banking services. This also becomes evident when one notes that online casinos have become increasingly more popular in South Africa.

          Tech is starting to run hot here, and the favorable environment in terms of technologies is further exemplified through the various international subsidiaries of companies at the likes of IBM, Microsoft, Intel, and Dell, just to name a few. The country is also showing future potential with the government embarking on various educational programs. The aspiration is to educate one million young people in Robotics, AI, Cloud computing, programming, and Cloud computing by 2030.

          Politics Are Seeing Improvements

          The politics in the country has gone through some major transitions and seen some important reforms, which has allowed the country to become more appealing to prospective investors. One of the previous barriers to engaging in FDI in South Africa has been the political turmoil characterized by instability and strings of corruption scandals. The previous barriers have been mitigated through adoptions of various trade agreements, including the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement, which the country is part of. The purpose of these trade agreements is to design an enabling environment for both internal growth and FDI.

          Concluding Remarks

          One can infer that being able to establish firm roots in South Africa through FDI can be very important in cases of increasing market share and expanding its footprint. FDI in South Africa opens the possibility for firms to further engage with neighboring countries in the continent both to improve the country’s economic development and at the same time increase their own market share. Considering South Africa’s influence and connectivity on the continent, it essentially becomes the door to the rest of Africa. If firms want to establish a presence in the African continent, conquering South Africa is a vital component.
