When many people think of foreign investing they only think of Americans investing in international companies. Perhaps that is very high-minded of us Americans. When, in reality, there are several other countries that invest in the United States. For the most part any capitol that is invested in the United States helps to raise the U.S gross domestic product of the GDP. What this means is that the United States residents are better off because of this foreign investment.
Throughout our history as a country there have been large numbers of countries that have invested in us that has helped to secure our future. Think of all the sponsorship for wars or even sending people over here to map out the land. Which means that we should be thankful to those countries who have invested in our country. Foreign investment hasincreased our capitol giving us equipment, buildings, land, patents, and copyrights including other things.
Many countries invest in the U.S., namely Europe, Turkey, Japan, Africa, and southern Asia. The reason that America is such a great country to invest in is that there are no restrictions on movements or either labor or capitol. This means that the flow to the country that is investing sees wages that are higher and greater returns on their investments. The United States stock markets tends to see a fifteen percent appreciation annually compared to other stock markets which only increase around five percent. Therefore, investors will see greater returns on their investments.
The United States also has a lower tax than other countries thanks to the tax acts passed by Reagan in the early 80′s. The United States is able to attract investors because the average consumer wealth and labor productivity is higher. U.S wealth per the gross domestic product is at least one-forth greater than that of other countries making any investment that other countries make in the United States a sure-fire investment.
