Expert Solution
Step 1

Foreign investment refers to the capital flow from one country to another, this grants the foreign investors extensive ownership in domestic companies and assets. As a result of their investment, foreigners get an active part in the management of their equity, this share is large enough for foreigners to influence the business strategy. The trends towards globalization has led to large multinational companies investment in other countries  

Net exports are a measure of total trade of a nation, they are defined as total exports minus total imports. If they are negative, it means that the imports are more than the exports.
