THE U.S. EXPERIENCE IN ATTRACTING INVESTMENTS FROM INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MARKETS

Abstract

The United States has long been one of the world’s leading destinations for international capital. Its ability to attract investments from global financial markets is rooted in institutional stability, deep and liquid capital markets, strong legal protections, and the global role of the U.S. dollar. This article examines the structural, regulatory, and macroeconomic factors that underpin the U.S. model of foreign investment attraction. It also analyzes the roles of key institutions such as the Federal Reserve System and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in fostering investor confidence. The study concludes by identifying policy lessons for emerging economies seeking to strengthen their participation in international financial markets.
