Factors Affecting Fdi Inflow in Tanzania

CHAPTER ONE 1 INTRODUCTION 1 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF TANZANIA INVESTMENT CENTRE (TIC) Tanzania enthronisation Centre (TIC) is the primary theatrical of the Government of Tanzania to coordinate, encourage, promote and facilitate enthronisation in Tanzania and to nonify the Government on enthronization related matters. TIC is a focal flow for investors. It is the first point of call for the say-so investors it is a one stop facilitative centre for all investors, engaging in the business sector of marketing Tanzania as an investing funds savoir-faire.TIC was launch in 1997 by the Tanzania investment Act No. 26 of 1997 to be the primary agency of Government to coordinate, encourage, promote and facilitate investment in Tanzania and to advise the Government in investiture related matters All Government departments and agencies ar required by law to cooperate amply with TIC in facilitating investors. As a primary agency of the Government in all investment matters, TIC is c harged with the avocation functions- Assist in establishment of enterprises e. g. ncorporation of enterprises Obtain necessary licenses, work permits, visas, approvals, facilities or services Sort come unwrap any administrative barriers confronting both local and unusual investments Promote both abroad and local investment activities Secure investment sites and assist investors to establish EPZ projects Grant Certificates of Incentives, investment guarantees and register technology agreements for all investments, which a re over and above US $ 300,000 and 100,000 for foreign and local investment respectively Provide and disseminate up to date learning on existing investment opportunities, benefits or incentives avail qualified to investors and Assist all investors whether or not registered by TIC. TIC headquarters is in Dar es Salaam, but has established Zonal offices in Kilimanjaro, Mwanza and Mbeya parts in secern to assist Investors who be based in nigh region s to access TIC services without necessarily traveling to Dar es Salaam.The Zonal offices be responsible in assisting investors to obtain all relevant permits, approvals and licenses they require in order to set up their businesses. In order to strengthen and expedite facilitation services, ten (10) Senior Officers from Government or its Executive Agencies prevail been permanently stationed at TIC to deal out investors under one roof. Presently these officers include those from- Ministry of Land, Housing and Human Settlement ontogenesis Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) Immigration Department Ministry of Labor, Employment and Youth Development (Labor Department) Ministry of Industry, Trade and Marketing (Directorate Trade) Business Registration & Licensing Agency (BRELA).? 2 BACKGROUND OF THE PROBLEMFDI has been one of the principal beneficiaries of the liberalization of capital flows over recent decades and straight off constitutes the major form of capital influx for many Afri privy countries, including somewhat low-income ones like Tanzania. Economies are often considered less vulnerable to external financing difficulties when new account deficits are financed largely by FDI influxs, rather than debt-creating capital flows. There is no denying the importance of FDI inflows both for their theatrical role to sustaining current account imbalances in countries and for their contribution to broader frugal proceeds, through technological spillovers and competition effectuate.Recent economic reports show that Tanzania lags behind neighbors Kenya, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia and as well as Madagascar in its ability to pluck foreign investors. A ccording to a top economic official, the failure to execute pro-business reforms is keeping prospective foreign investors away from Tanzania. (Konye Obaji Ori, Afrik. com, Thursday September, 2008). The Chief Executive Officer of the Tanzania Investment Centre, Mr Emmanuel Ole Naiko, said even count ries with less attractive opportunities and resources were receiving more foreign direct investment beca uptake the culture of politicking and negative public sentiments against foreign investors in Tanzania were among factors impeding the inflow of investments in the soil.In recent years, the flow of FDI has been steadily growing. From 2004 to 2005, the inflow grew by 29 percent to reach US $ 916 billion). During the same Tanzania attracted US $ 330. 6 million. To ensure maximum benefit to the thriftiness, emf factors affecting FDI flow should be queryed periodically. (Tanzania Investment Report, BOT, 2006). A large proportion of the FDI flow into Tanzania has increased from 552 million US Dollars in 2006 to 600 million US Dollars in 2008, ranking the awkward among the top ten recipients in Africa. Given its dominance in fiscal globalization and the potential impact to the economies, FDI tend to pose various challenges to individual recipient countries.For good example monito ring and evaluation of the inflows, maintaining macroeconomics stability, and undertaking institutional and policy reforms for the purpose or realizing best benefits from the inflows. These challenges obligates Tanzania to increase capacity to compete interms of attracting investments, gaining global market shares and improving social economic welfare. Therefore the main objective of TIC is to facilitate Investment for national growth by enhancing an environment conductive for business and entrepreneurship growth hence attracting FDI inflows. 0. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM For the past two decades, Tanzania had been conceiving several efforts to attract immaterial Direct Investment. teaching policy and structural reforms carried out since 1980s played signifi bumt role in improving the investment environment in the state. These efforts return resulted into increase in FDI inflows into the country. However the increase in FDI and related investment posed a need to evaluate potentia l factors that induce the flow of FDI and should be emphases in this issue. The teeny-weeny number of investors in the country is usually contributed to weak economic performance. So it is burning(prenominal) to identify factors that affect these investors not to invest in the country. It is also important to recognize the mixture of positive and negative effects of FDI shoot down into the country.The enquiryer bequeath evaluate ways which notify be employ to maximize the effects of FDI hence leading to economy growth. Therefore the aim of this read is to identify and evaluate the potential factors that affect the flow of FDI into our country. 1. 4 interrogation OBJECTIVE 1. 4. 1 General Objective. To identify and evaluate the potential factors that affect the inflow of FDI in Tanzania so that to maximize the effects of FDI hence leading to the growth of economy. 1. 4. 2 ad hoc Objectives To identify and evaluate the sources of FDI To analyze the role of FDI as a source o f economic education To analyze the effects of FDI in the host country and how this can be controlled. 1. 5 RESEARCH QUESTIONS 1. 5. General Questions What are the Potential Factors That Affect FDI Inflows? 1. 5. 2 Specific Questions 1) Will policy footmarks lead to increase/decrease in FDI inflows? 2) What forget happen is some companies with foreign ownership maintain offshore accounts, from which their debt servicing is made directly, thus leading to unknown outflow? 3) What policy measures to be taken as FDI inflow into the country come from different countries with different investment requirement hence having different requirements? 4) What is the effect of availability of highly educated and skilled labor in FDI Inflows? 5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RESEARCH 1. To the Target GovernmentThe study impart provide selective information for developing policies on investment promotion and planning on future investment strategies. Also it provide uphold in improving the necessary e nvironment for attracting FDI inflows in the country. 2. To Future researchers To help other researchers to conduct future study on the same problem fuddlen the gaps this might be encountered by the researcher. Also it can be used as reference for literature reviews on the same problem in other areas relating with FDI. 1. 6. 3 To the Researcher 1) The study is the partial fulfillment of the requirements for Post down Diploma in fiscal Management to be awarded by the Institute of Finance Management. IFM) 2) The researcher will gain confidence to conduct other research Studies independently at his places of work as to solve long and short term problems due to widened ability in writing and reporting skills. 1. 6. 4 To Investors The study will be of much importance to local and foreign investors, policy makers, donors, academicians as well it will be a useful source of information about the factors that catch FDI inflow in the country. 1. 6. 5 Reference Period The study conducted may be used in the coming three (3) years. 1. 7 SCOPE OF THE STUDY The study is intended to provide information on the potential factors that affect FDI inflow as well as bring out investors perception of the economy and business environment ranging from macroeconomic situation, infrastructure, financial governance and labour factors.The research will be conducted in Dar es Salaam region at TIC Headquarters and will take approximately two (2) months. The issues to be analyzed here are the potential factors that affect the FDI inflows, the sources of FDI into the country and the impact of FDI to the country both negatively and positively. 8. GAPS TO BE FILLED 1) FDI by locally owned companies has to be analyzed too, as many records shown by the past researchers are for the fully owned by foreigners or partially. 2) To add information on the previously done research on the gap trying to have a census on the set of potential factors affecting FDI inflows. 3) The study will try to overc ome or at least reduce the gap as abridgment above. 9. CONCEPTUAL MODELTanzania benefits from FDI because these flows augment the limited Domestic savings and bring with it finance, managerial skills, technology, marketing expertise and market links. However new opportunities also bring risks that should be managed properly, especially in the case of policy reforms e. t. c. 10. ASSUMPTION OF THE STUDY The Researcher anticipates the following(a) assumption in the research process- 1. 10. 1 clock time It is assumed that the time will be sufficient to complete this study. The time given is not sufficient to make the researcher to make a spaciotemporal study. This implies that the researcher will face difficulties in gathering all the important information for analysis. 1. 10. 2 Respondents It is assumed that some of the replyents will cooperate.Some respondents will also be a problem in the study this is because of their personal interest and might choose to be untruthful. Also th ere may be a problem of absence of respondents. 1. 10. 3 Access to Records A problem of fully access to some documents may pose a problem as some documents are termed as very confidential and thus cannot be accessed by anybody especially the outsider. 1. 10. 4 Funds It is assumed that the funds will cover what is on the budget. However any additional costs outside the budgeted one may pose as a problem as there will be no additional funds from my sponsor. Inexperience in conducting research may lead to some delays hence increase in cost of the study.CHAPTER TWO 2. 0 LITERATURE REVIEW 2. 1 INTRODUCTION Many researcher has been conducted regarding the analyses of the major determinants of FDI flows but did not come to census on what can be stipulate as a set of major determinants of FDI inflows, as this varies from one country to another and from one host to another. (World Investment Report, 2008). The flow of FDI to different countries is unequal. The major sources and destination o f FDI have been the USA, the European Union, and Japan. Europe is currently the largest recipient and source of FDI. Africa has been receiving the lowest share of global FDI despite efforts by African ountries to attract it. However the climate has improve over the past few years. The growth of house servant out raise has been greater that that of the population for the first time in years. (Recep Kok et al, Analyses of FDI Determinants in Developing Countries, diary of Social economicals, Volume 36 1/2 2009 PP105 123). Tanzania received US $ 600 million in 2008 and became the third largest recipient of FDI in SADCC region. However Tanzania has an upside potential to attract more FDI because of its continued political stability, promising prospect in the mining and biogas, and tourism. (World Investment Report, 2008). 1 Meaning and Overview of FDI in TanzaniaRecep Kok et al, defines outside Direct Investment is as a case where a resident entity in one economy acquires lasting interest in an enterprise in another countrys economy with significant degree of influence. The World Investment Report (WIR) 2008, which was launched by the Secretary General of UNCTAD Dr. Panithpakdi, indicates that the FDI inflow in Africa has recorded an impressive performance. It shows that FDI on the continent has hit a record and that Africa has the highest returns on Investment. The Government has continued to improve the countrys investment climate, by introducing different reforms which will be of interest to investors. However as everyone sees, the foreign investment is highly hard in some parts of Tanzania, in the big cities like Dar Es-Salaam, Mbeya, Arusha e. t. c.Also it is concentrated in the mining areas like Geita, Kahama, Nyamongo, and Tulawaka. In areas where the only product obtained there is agriculture, there are no or few investments. (Tanzania Investment Report, 2006). FDI has some components which are- 1) Direct Equity Investment 2) Retained earnings attri butable to non-residents 3) Long-term shareholders and inter-company loans 4) Short-term shareholders and inter-company loans and 5) Suppliers credits from related companies. The surge of interest in FDI and multinational companies has been so high that in Tanzania there has been a high expectation in terms of what the companies can do and generally on the development effects of FDI. patch FDI can, indeed, contribute to national economic and social development in many ways, the engagement and performance of domestic actors are very crucial. The effect of FDI largely depends on the policies of the host country. This goes beyond the mere liberalization of economies. Deliberate measures to develop human capital and physical and social infrastructure can also be worthy ways to enhance the quality of FDI that countries can attract. Tanzania is making major efforts to increase FDI inflow by improving the investment climate. It has embarked on wide-ranging policy, political and institutio nal reforms aimed at reducing (and if possible removing) barriers to entry of foreign capital, particularly FDI.Trade investment liberalization, privatization and the creation of various incentives for foreign investment have received goodish attention of the government. Regional economic integration bodies and free trade zones have been created to enlarge the size of markets and scoop up common investment regimes at sub-regional and regional levels. These efforts are based on recognition that FDI can stimulate economic growth, generate new employment opportunities, promote transfer of new technologies and contribute to environmental sustainability in the region. (Oyeyinka, 2004) 2 FDI Inflow and Prospect for Tanzania Tanzanians Foreign Direct Investment has increased by n primaeval 15Percent in 2008, to begin with due to investment in natural resources Exploration projects already in operation. Tanzania has ranked number 12 among major FDI receiver African countries after Nigeri a, Egypt, Morocco, Sudan, equatorial Guinea, Algeria and Tunisia. Other countries ahead of Tanzania are Madagascar, Zambia, Ghana, DRC and Kenya. (World Investment Report, 2008). However, there is no reason why on earth countries like Zambia and Madgascar should surpass Tanzania, particularly when one looks at the natural resources endowments the country enjoys. Tanzanias problem has been engagement in too many debates, which inhibited some the making of quick and timely decisions.Giving the example of a country like Mozambique, although it was devastated by the war, had managed to successfully develop its coal mines leaving Tanzanians to debate on who should develop Mchuchuma coal or Liganga iron ore deposits. Since early 1986, The Government of Tanzania, with determination, launched a comprehensive economic reforms and stabilization programme. In pursuit of this, agricultural marketing has been liberalized, foreign exchanged controls have been lifted, price deregulated, enhanced head-to-head sector involvement in the economy through privatization programme and the new investment code offering competitive incentives has been in place. These comprehensive economic reforms have resulted into improved competitiveness, lower tariffs, increasing levels of foreign investment in trade, improved key economic indicators and rapid integration into world markets.To this end, the Government is currently embarking on a strenuous exercise to upgrade its institutions and bring them at par with international standards. The expectation is to enhance the countrys competitive position for investment flows destined for the region and meet the challenges of globalization.

Growth per capita is expected to increase by 3. 4% between 2004 and 2009. (Tanzania Investors Guide, 2002 and beyond).

POTENTIAL FACTORS THAT ATTRACT FDI The literature groups the factors that attract foreign investment into two groups external hale factors and domestic pull factors. Among the pull fact ors are a. Economic and political reforms that boost confidence in the economy b. Reforms such as debt restructuring which ease the long-run foreign exchange constraint and therefore enhance the sustainability of foreign exchange inflows c. Liberalization of foreign exchange flows (both current and capital) in the balance of wagess d.Simplication of red-tape requirements for direct and portfolio investment and liberalization of restrictions on head-to-head sector borrowing from a broad e. macroeconomic factors, these are fiscal policy, monetary policy, government stability, government spending regulatory frame work, state intervention in private business, and financial sector stability. The government has to have a clear look on these factors as they affect investors operations f. The infrastructure and public services including inland transport, ports, electricity and water supply, postal services, telecommunications, customs services, immigration facilities, municipal services, banking services and credit rating g.Diverse factors including corruption, internal security, domestic political scenario, regional political scenario, domestic economic situation, global economic situation and market expansion h. Governance factors that include regional trade integration, trade policy, investment incentives, bureaucracy, and tax accrual efficiency, effectuality of legal law, land law and administration and speed of decision making i. Inflation, availability of business credit, interest rate, depreciation on domestic currency, national payment system and exchange control are among the pull factors. Among the push factors are a. The relative decline in international interest rates ( or soly US vaulting horse rates) when compared to interest rates in developing economies b.Cyclical downturns in economic activity in developed economies, which reduce the demand for investment funds and c. A move towards intentional diversification of asset portfolios by major portfol io investors such as pension funds and insurance companies. The literature identified both push and pull factors as being behind the increase in capital flows to developing economies in 1990s. However, it is domestic or pull factors over which policy makers can have direct impact in attracting inflows of private capital. (Asea and Reinhart, 1995) 3. MEASURES TO BE TAKEN BY TANZANIA TO INCREASE FDI INFLOWS There are several ways home countries can increase FDI inflows. These include a.Reducing political risk by enhancing the credibility of reforms. Sub-Saharan Africa seems to be seen as one homogeneous continent and therefore the corked port of few governments often leads to a negative image for all. Credibility also matters for the sustainability of reforms. Reforms that are credible are more likely to be sustainable in the long run as economic agent react positively to policy measures and result in virtuous circle behaviors. (Kasekende and Bhundia, 2000) b. Political reforms, pol itical disorder is very damaging to economic growth and is not conducive environment for both domestic and foreign investment (Kasekende and Bhundia, 2000).Political reforms should be aimed at building frameworks that are more inclusive, encourage power sharing and allow for enhanced public participation in political process. c. Insurance against policy risk. al-Qaida countries can sign bilateral or multilateral investment treaties that have legally binding elements establishing the obligations of the host country toward foreign investors from other signatory countries. d. Macroeconomic stability should be ensured, as it is prerequisite for attracting sustainable, long-term foreign investment into a country. Hadjmichael et al (1996) conclude the most important impact of policies on private investment behavior was through their effect on macroeconomic instability and uncertainty.This suggests that greater macroeconomic instability can have a healthy adverse impact on domestic and f oreign private in investment. e. External burden should be reduced. In many African countries external debt servicing, most of it official, continues to exact a significant burden on finances. In principle, heavy external debt does not automatically translate into low growth. Growth in merchandise earnings can allow for continued importation investment goods to maintain growth while servicing external debt at the same time. However, if borrowed money is invested primarily in non-traded sector then the situation will arise where the economy is unable to pay for imports required to maintain growth. 4. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF FDI AS A SOURCE OF economic GROWTHAccording to B. Seedha et al in their paper Foreign Direct Investment in Africa, FDI is simply a source of capital. The impact of FDI is dependent on what form it takes. This includes types of FDI, sector scale, duration and location of business and secondary effects. It is important to note that while some have experien ced growth because of large FDI inflows, others have not. FDI can contribute to gross domestic products, gross fixed capital formation and balance of payments. Other contributions FDI can make to host country economy include assisting in debt servicing repayments, stimulating export markets, and producing foreign exchange revenues.Another aspect of FDI is that it can serve as source for economic development is in currency stability. FDI can contribute to social development by increasing employment and wages and by replacing warning market sector. FDI may offer poverty reduction, since poverty is related with unemployment. High levels of FDI do not necessarily show domestic gain (B. Seedha et al). Other factors may limit the economic gain to the host countrys economy. Example of such factors includes corporate strategies, and importation of goods and resources used in production. However FDI is mostly change by countrys instability. The gain in employment, wages and so on may be rea lized by very small part of the population.When this happens wage differences between income groups will increase and the distribution of income may become unequal. Another negative effect of FDI as a source of economy is where the parent companies dominate the local market, leaving the local companies with no where to go. CHAPTER THREE 3. 0 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 3. 1. INTRODUCTION This section describes the methodologies framework of the study which includes Research paradigms, Research Design, types of measurements, info collection methods and approach, types of data, try techniques, sampling procedures, reliability and validity of data, management and analysis of data and limitations of the study. 3. 2RESEARCH PARADIGMSParadigms or School of Thought in research scholarship are real ways of looking at reality and the consequent approach/methods to generate knowledge that is held by a group of intellectuals who have wide influence in that subject area. The basic premise behind th e paradigms is based on how people view reality (Lufumbi, 2008). 3. 3 RESEARCH DESIGN Research design is the boilers suit plan of the research. It is referred as a blueprint for the collection, measurements and analysis of data. During the study the Case Study design will be used. This is due to the fact that the research will be conducted in a single organization, and also case study design allows variety methods of data collection methods.In addition to that case study design will gives the room to researcher to make rigorous analysis of the organization under the study. Case study design is also less expensive compared to other research designs. However the case study design limits the researcher from generalization to other unit of the same kind because it may not be a true representative sample. It allows the researcher to be able to get close to the sources of information. 3. 4 RESEARCH TECHNIQUES In analysing the data the researcher will adopt both quantitative and qualitat ive techniques. Tables will also be used by the researcher to present the information where applicable. 3. 5TYPES OF MEASUREMENTSMeasurement is a process of depute numbers to objects or observation, the level of measurement being a function of the rules under which the number assigned (Kothari, 2004). Technically speaking measurement is the process part aspects of range according to some rules of correspondence. The measurement of the collected data will be delivered score that will be obtained from the respondent when making sense of data that would make from the research development. The delivered score will be of course those from face to face interview, distrustnaires, documentations and observation. 3. 6 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES The simple Random sampling approach will be used to select the sample.The researcher expects to follow the following approach in selecting the sample- All Foreign Investors registered with Tanzania Investment Centre as a population to be studied will be identified through the register. Sample of foreign investors will be d crankyn every which way. Judgment approach to sampling will be used to select the items to be studied. 3. 7 DATA COLLECTION METHODS AND APPROACHES The data to be collected are those which will be able to address the research objectives and answer the research questions. Both primary and secondary data will be used in this study and the research intends to use several relevant data collection method to collect them. 3. 7. 1Primary selective information Primary data are original works of research or raw data without interpretation or pronouncements that present of official opinion or position. vicarious data are those data obtained from literature sources. These are the ones that have already been collected by the other people for some other purposes. This is second had information. Secondary data include both raw data and published ones (Sunders et al, 2000). The following methods will be used in collecting prima ry data Interview This method will be use for the purpose of seeking clarifications on some of data collected. For this reason the interview will be in form of verbal and unstructured. Questionnaire The researcher will set relevant questions on factors attracting FDI inflow, and those questionnaires will be distributed to different staffs who will answer them.This method will be used to give adequate time to think about the question and respond to them accordingly. These will be administered to TIC staffs in order to collect data relating to such issues like what they think attract foreign investors to invest in Tanzania, what hinder foreign investors to invest in the country, the advantages of FDI inflow in Tanzania. , and how do they purchase, issue and receive stores. Observation The researcher will observe and participates directly in daily activities of TIC. This will enable the researcher to analyze each particular activity effectively and enchantly. Also this method will mak e help to the researcher to detect the behavior of the respondents a) Documentary SourceIn this course of collecting data, the researcher will be trying to go through different document held by TIC. 2. Secondary Data The researcher will collect secondary data through the review of various literatures from different sources such as minutes, reports, policies and legislation regarding the investments in Tanzania. 7. dependability AND VALIDITY OF DATA The researcher will make sure the measurable data are valid by controlling the questionnaires, and interview and ensure that are directed to the right person at TIC and make sure the reliability of the data by reviewing information which is from reliable and right documents. 1. ReliabilityReliability refers to the question of whether a measuring instrument or process can produce the same results if successively employed by different researchers (Ndunguru, 2007). It refers to the purpose to which a measure is giving consistent and stable results in a measurement process. 2. Validity Validity helps us to measure what it sets out to measure consistently and in a stable manner. It refers to persistence of systematic error in measurement process (Ndunguru, 2007). The validity of the research results is ensured id adequate physical or statistical control is put in place such that research measurement process produces accurate data. Generally validity is about a researcher measuring what he/she out to measure. 8.MANAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS OF DATA 1. Data Management Data will be collected from respective sources by using questionnaire, personal interviews. The respondents are randomly selected. However whenever the approached interviewee was not accessible at that time, the next nearest interviewee will be approached. 2. Data Analysis The data collected from questionnaires, interviews and documents is going to be edited, coded and summarized in order to get information relating to problems. The researcher will analyze and te st the data using descriptive method, text and schedules, and tables will be used to authorise relationship between variables. 3. 9. 3 Data ProcessingThe researcher will use coding in data processing. This includes numbering and heading so as to simplify and reduce the ambiguity to the reader. Collection of data using questionnaire will be entered in the computer so as to make coding. 3. 9. 4 Data Presentation The findings of the study will be presented in a form of narration description with illustration of tables and diagrams where applicable.
