Abstract
The global investment landscape has changed tremendously due to the regular deregulation and liberalization regimes of the governments of various nations over the last few decades. Generally developing countries are the recipients of FDI, but recently they have emerged as the source of FDI too to the world. The present paper empirically analyses the patterns, growth and the outward-inward ratios of the outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) stocks from the BRIC nations which are Brazil, Russia, India and China. The emergence of outward foreign direct investment perspective in the BRIC Nations is also delved into.
