Foreign direct investment, which is often considered a more stable source of financing during crisis periods, is expected to decrease, primarily because the crisis first hit the home countries of the investors, where massive stimulus programmes are taking away financial resources that could otherwise flow to developing countries.
La raison principale d'une telle diminution est que la crise a d'abord touché les pays des investisseurs, et que les gigantesques programmes de relance qui y sont mis en place privent les pays en développement de ressources financières potentielles.
