Foreign direct investment (FDI) means an investment made by a company or individual from one country into business interests located in another country. This generally involves establishing operations, acquiring assets, or owning a controlling stake in a foreign company. FDI is among the most active factors stimulating economic growth, international trade, technology transfer, and increasing employment opportunities in Nepal under the Foreign Investment and Technology Transfer Act, 2019.
