Step 7

In the modern global economy nothing can be predicted with certainty, since the future

is influenced by too many variables. A country may, however, establish an environment

that attracts the role-players necessary to boost its domestic economy. The benefits of

this process may enable such a country to face the challenges of globalisation. A country has to earn its trade and investment by creating a friendly environment with

complementary incentives and the correct policy mix. What is needed is an investment

code of conduct. The international role-players know what they want and they know

what they can get from other parts of the world. If a country is serious about attracting

foreign resources, economic and business realities cannot make way for social objectives

- even if much-needed - since the inflow of foreign resources is necessary to reach

those very objectives in the long term.
