Question

Determine which are risks that discourage international investing and which are opportunities.

Answer 1

Answer:

Opportunities

Faster and more information

When information is bountiful and disseminated speedily, investors are more confident that the financial system is strong and will be more likely to invest.

Liquidity,

Investors love being able to change their assets to physical money as soon as possible. If this is hard in a country, they will not invest.

Change in government restrictions

When Government restrictions that limit opportunities are lifted, investors come in larger numbers to take advantage of these new opportunities.

Risks

Financial services outside of regulation

Investors would prefer that the law is able to protect their assets and so will shun opportunities outside regulation.

Hot money

If there is too much Hot money going in and out of the economy, investors will be worried that too much money could leave the country at the slightest change in interest rates.

Information gap

Information should be widely available. If it is usually concealed from international partners, this can damage portfolios.

Interrelated international capital market

Independent Capital markets are able to withstand problems going on in other capital markets. When a nation's capital market is too interrelated with others this is risky.

Reducing risk reduction

A nation acting to reduce measures that reduce risk is a red flag. Investors want the least risky asset for a certain amount of return.
