ASEAN Investment Report 2016: Foreign direct investment and MSME linkages
Author:The ASEAN Secretariat and United Nations Conference on Trade and Development

Abstract
				The ASEAN Investment Report 2016 will provide some answers to these questions, and more. With the theme “Foreign Direct Investment and MSME Linkages”, this latest edition examines the drivers and motivations that underpin investments in ASEAN. It takes a closer look at MNE activities and operations in the ASEAN region. Specifically, it examines the case of two important sources of FDI to ASEAN, that of Korea and the United States, with useful insights on the approaches taken, and the success and challenges faced. An additional feature of this year’s report is the study and analysis on the investment activities of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) in ASEAN – namely on their linkages and internationalization strategies – why and how they do so. ASEAN MSMEs account for the lion’s share of business establishments and contribute significantly to employment and GDP in the region. They play an important role as suppliers or contractors to MNEs by helping large firms source locally or by operating close to their MNE clients in overseas markets.
