Abstract

A main issue in growing outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) from emerging economies is the participation of home governments. This paper focuses on governments in Latin America and how they are promoting the OFDI of their domestic enterprises. Brazil, Chile and Mexico are the leading countries in Latin America supporting OFDI, although only Brazil has an active policy and institutional arrangements for supporting home enterprise internationalization. Governments in Latin America need to develop their institutional environments and create suitable conditions for enterprises to expand internationally.
