- PROMOTION FOREIGN INVESTMENT : In the recent years, external assistance to developing countries has been declining. This is because the donor developed countries have not been willing to part with a larger proportion of their GDP as assistance to developing countries. MNCs can bridge the gap
between the requirements of foreign capital for increasing foreign investment in India. - NON-DEBT CREATING CAPITAL INFLOWS :- In pre-reform period in India when foreign direct investment by MNCs was discouraged, we relied heavily on external commercial borrowing (ECB) which was of debt-creating capital inflows. This raised the burden of external debt and debt service payments reached the alarming figure of 35 per cent of our current account receipts.
- TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER : Another important role of multinational corporations is that they transfer high sophisticated technology to developing countries which are essential for raising productivity of working class and enable us to start new productive ventures requiring high technology.
- PROMOTION OF EXPORTS : With extensive links all over the world and producing products efficiently and therefore with lower costs multinationals can play a significant role in promoting exports of a country in which they invest. For example, the rapid expansion in China’s exports in recent years is due
to the large investment made by multinationals in various fields of Chinese industry. - INVESTMENT IN INFRASTRUCTURE : With a large command over financial resources and their superior ability to raise resources both globally and
inside India it is said that multinational corporations could invest in infrastructure such as power projects, modernization of airports and posts, telecommunication.
