Definition

  • Resource-seeking investment is one of the types of foreign direct investment; it mainly focuses on rich raw materials, low-cost unskilled and skilled labor, technological assets, and physical infrastructure. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), resource-seeking investment was the most common foreign direct investment (FDI) type in the 19th and 20th centuries, representing the basis of colonial relationships between Europe and other countries.
