...Direct investments has become a striking measure of economic development in both developed and developing countries. FDI and FII thus have become instruments of international economic integration and stimulation. Fast growing economies like Singapore, China, Korea etc have registered incredible growth at onset of FDI. Though US captures most of the FDI inflows, developing countries still account for significant growth of FDI and rise in FII. FDI not only gives access to foreign capital but also provides domestic counties with cutting edge technology, desired skill sets, tools of innovation and other complementary skills. Apart from helping in creating additional economic activity and generating employment, foreign investment also facilitates flow of sophisticated technology into the country and helps the industry to march into advanced technology. A favorable business environment fostered Indian economy after 1991, when the government of India opened the door for foreign capital in the way of direct investment and through foreign institutional investors. The policies drafted to stimulate the flow of foreign capital in to India provided much needed impetus for India to emerge as an attractive destination for foreign investors. Consequently, the international capital inflows have been increased tremendously during last two decades. What is Foreign Direct Investment? Any investment that flows from one country into another is known as foreign investment. Inflow...

...FOREIGN INSTITUTIONAL INVESTMENTS AND THE INDIAN STOCK MARKET K.S. Chalapati Rao, K.V.K. Ranganathan and M.R. Murthy* To facilitate foreign private capital flows in the form of portfolio investments, developing countries have been advised to develop their stock markets. It was suggested that these investments would help the stock markets directly through widening investor base and indirectly by compelling local authorities to improve the trading systems. While the volatility associated with portfolio capital flows is well known, there is also a concern that foreign institutional investors might introduce distortions in the host country markets due to the pressure on them to secure capital gains. In this context, this paper seeks to assess the importance of foreign portfolio investments in India relative to other major forms and to study the relationship between foreign portfolio investments and trends in the Indian stock market during the past four years. Introduction The character of global capital flows to developing countries underwent significant changes on many counts during the 'nineties. By the time the East Asian financial crisis surfaced, the overall size of the flows more than tripled. It stood at US$ 100.8 bn. in 1990 and rose to US$ 308.1 bn. by 1996. The increase was entirely due to the sharp rise in the flows under private account that rose from US$ 43.9 bn. to 275.9 billion during the same period. In relative terms the percentage of private account capital flows...

...peak and is expected to rise further as corporate profitability grows. However, factors such as high inflation and corruption may result in overseas investors being careful with their actions. As a result of year 2010, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) shareholding rose to the highest level since Indian markets opened up to foreign investment in 1993. In addition, strong corporate earnings had made India the top investment destination in 2010. As India is the second fastest growing major economy in the world after China, it is likely to attract higher investments in the future. Although the growth potential outlook for India remains positive, it is susceptible to correction due to is top priced trading compared to other markets. The threat of high inflation and rising crude prices resulting in a slow-down of growth and corporate profitability has affected the foreign investors action. The moderation in foreign flows has led to a decline in stock prices. An increase in FII shareholding was detected in sectors, such as consumer goods, pharma, metals, large software firms and telecom service providers. In banking and financial industry, however, the FIIs stakes were lowered as well as in most construction firms. The trend in foreign inflows in the future will depend largely on whether macroeconomic concerns such as inflation abate as well as on policy initiatives in the national budget to be tabled in Parliament next month. According to the article, investors remain careful...

...The proportion of foreign institutional investors has gradually grown in the stock markets of developing countries as a result of financial globalization. This trend has led to an increasing concern as to whether these investors can influence the management decisions of the local firms in developing countries. This paper empirically investigates the impact of foreign institutional investors on corporate dividend policy in the Indian stock market. Using sample firms whose ownership by foreign investors was 5% or higher through the fiscal period from 2007 to 2011, we examine whether foreign institutional investors with more than 5% of a company's shares can exert a significant impact on dividends. In addition, we investigate if more shares that foreign institutional investors have over major shareholders and the more shares that foreign institutional investors have over the previous year, the stronger the impact of foreign institutional investors have on corporate dividend policy. This study empirically shows the impact of foreign institutional investors from the viewpoint of corporate governance in India, where local institutional investors play inadequate roles as Stakeholders. FII STRONGHOLD A look at the BSE-500 ownership pattern suggests that FIIs held as much as 15 per cent of the full-market capitalisation of the BSE-500 and a whopping 35 per cent of the freefloat market cap as of March 2011, thus providing them considerable influence over stock markets. Domestic institutions...

...investor. Participatory notes were one of the reasons for the largest fall witnessed ever in Indian stock markets. Participatory notes had been in news for all the wrong reasons, every second or third day, some or the other controversy associated with them props up. The most important regulators in Indian economy, i.e. SEBI and RBI are also seen in picture, day in or day out, issuing notices or warning signs to the parties concerned or related to this instrument. But the analysts associated with stock markets are not much concerned or bothered about this instrument. As some of them, don’t have any relationship with this instrument. Indeed, this instrument is much talked about when we name or see the Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs). Although FIIs have contributed to the Indian economy, in more ways than one, but still they have not been able to earn the respect for themselves as they should be. RBI and SEBI, every now and then, are bothered about their activities and moves that might affect the economy and the markets adversely. The recently out, Lahiri Committee Report, also lays emphasis on participatory notes, its role and functioning. The question that arises in a person’s mind is that what is a participatory note, how it functions, and why is it famous for its notoriety, etc. We will try to seek the answers of the above said questions and various other aspects of participatory notes in the following discussion. What are participatory notes? In the magazine, Business...

...Global Financial Crisis Impact and Challenges Shaikh Faisal. Assistant Professor Dr. Rafiq Zakaria Campus Millennium Institute of Management Aurangabad Introduction: The global financial system has undergone a period of unprecedented turmoil. Market confidence dwindled and has remained fragile, leading to the collapse or near-collapse of large, and in some cases systemically important, financial institutions, and calling forth public intervention in the financial system on a scale not seen for decades. The financial system has been severely weakened by mounting losses on impaired and illiquid assets, uncertainty regarding the availability and cost of funding, and further deterioration of loan portfolios as global economic growth slows. Finding a purely private sector resolution of financial market strains has become increasingly difficult, while case-by-case intervention by authorities has not alleviated market concerns. In response, more comprehensive approaches are now being considered or implemented to bring about a more orderly process of deleveraging and to break the adverse feedback loop between the financial system and the global economy. Such a comprehensive approach—if well coordinated among countries—should be sufficient to restore confidence and the proper functioning of markets and avert a more protracted downturn in the global economy. Significant writedowns have already been realized, but more may lie ahead. . . The estimate of aggregate write downs...

...Capital market is one of the most important segments of the Indian financial system. It is the market available to the companies for meeting their requirements of the long-term funds. It refers to all the facilities and the institutional arrangements for borrowing and lending funds. In other words, it is concerned with the raising of money capital for purposes of making long-term investments. The market consists of a number of individuals and institutions (including the Government) that canalise the supply and demand for long -term capital and claims on it. The demand for long term capital comes predominantly from private sector manufacturing industries, agriculture sector, trade and the Government agencies. While, the supply of funds for the capital market comes largely from individual and corporate savings, banks, insurance companies, specialised financing agencies and the surplus of Governments. The Indian capital market is broadly divided into the gilt-edged market and the industrial securities market. ▪ The gilt-edged market refers to the market for Government and semi-government securities, backed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Government securities are tradeable debt instruments issued by the Government for meeting its financial requirements. The term gilt-edged means 'of the best quality'. This is because the Government securities do not suffer from risk of default and are highly liquid (as they can be easily sold in the market at their current price). The open...

Exchange rate risk also drives away foreign investors which in turn depreciates the local currency.

...which economists believe will lead to depression. There’s no absolute definition of depression or recession as such with various economists publishing their own theories and definitions of these terms which are usually different in meaing from each other. Most widely used definition of recession is “Whenever a country witness decrease in GDP growth in consecutive 2-4 quarters, we say that the respective country is in recession” whereas “if there’s a decrease in GDP growth for more than 4 consecutive quarters, we say the respective country is in depression”. My friends over here will be mentioning the obvious points like subprime crisis, bankruptcy of investment banks like AIG, Lehmann Brothers, Freddie Mac, faltering of mortgage loans and some other common points. I, on the other hand, will be talking about Foreign Investments in FOREX reserves and stock market. Forex reserves as you know are the reserves of foreign currency which a country have.
