9 BUT INVESTORS DO NOT ALL LOOK FOR THE SAME THINGS The value of particular location advantages varies for multinational enterprises with different attributes It is the interaction between location and firm-specific attributes, rather than each of these independently, that affects location choices. So a location must: 1.Identify its unique location advantages 2.Identify target industries and specific investors that advantages 3.Build on and strengthen those advantages seek those *Source: :L. Nachum & C. Wymbs ((2002), University of Cambridge 9

10 Example: Mangystau Oblast, Kazakhstan Location Advantages and Possible Target Industries Advantages Hub of Eurasian transport corridor Kazakhstan s main ports, SEZ Large regional oil and gas industry Potential Industries to Attract FDI Transport and Logistics services Development (via PPP) of transport infrastructure Transport and Logistics Value added processing of imports and exports Oil and gas service and supply Ship building and repair Oil & gas service and supply Upstream petroleum production Downstream petroleum industries Plentiful wind and sunshine Alternative energy production and technology Low-cost desalination Caspian coastline and beaches Tourism Fisheries/aquaculture Source: In-country interviews and experts discussions 10

11 Each of these potential industries must be analysed and benchmarked against competing locations to develop a value proposition Analyse Benchmark Synthesize Results Sector Identification Identify competing Identify unique Identify most locations selling propositions important factors Obtain cost & Select most for each sector productivity data promising target SWOT analysis Interview companies industries Operating cost that invested Comparative model Location rankings / evaluation by Interview attractiveness indices location for each companies WEF & Doing Business industry selected that did/didn t invest rankings Detailed value propositions for selected industries Promotional tools (brochures, presentations, web sites) Reports prepared for specific investors 11

13 Investment promotion can have a big impact on the level of foreign direct investment in a location World Bank studies show that a 10% increase in an investment promotion budget leads to a 2.5% increase in FDI. FDI can make a strong contribution to the local economy. It is estimated that US$1 in FDI leads to US$1 in domestic investment. The net present value of proactive investment promotion is almost US$4 for every US$1 expended There are many cost-effective ways to promote investment, and we will address those in a subsequent workshop *Source: Murat Seker, World Bank (2009) 13
