I'm wondering if FDI, or Foreign Direct Investment, is considered a long-term investment. I want to understand if it involves committing funds to a foreign entity with the expectation of a lasting financial return.

    Long-term capital includes loans and other financial instruments with maturities extending beyond a year, aimed at financing business operations and expansion.

    Short-term capital, on the other hand, may involve speculative investments with shorter holding periods.

    FDI represents the aggregate amount of equity capital, long-term capital, and short-term capital reflected in the balance of payments.

    FDI often entails active participation in the management of the invested enterprise. This can manifest in various forms, such as board representation or strategic decision-making.
