Abstract

The traditional prejudices against developing countries in regard to private foreign investors particularly in respect of risks need to be changed; by the same token, some of the old-fashioned contractual terms incorporated into investment contracts based on bi-lateral treaties should be reviewed as a matter of urgency. On the other hand, developing countries, in general are required to assure private foreign investors of the impartiality of their judicial system perhaps by making them separable and separate from the executive organs of the government concerned. Although during the initial period of decolonisation the incidence of risks was high, they are now almost absent.

Under a BOT arrangement, the foreign investor will be required to set up an industry which would be beneficial to the host country, and which would require the foreign investor to train the local people in learning the production process such that eventually they are able to manufacture high quality products which would be sold on the investor’s markets. This arrangement has at least two direct benefits: development of skills and foreign income for the host country.
