the balance of payments. It usually involves participation in management,
joint venture, transfer of technology and expertise. There are two types of
FDI: (a) Inward foreign direct investment and (b) Outward foreign direct
investment. Foreign direct investment excludes investment through
purchase of shares. Foreign direct investment can be used as one measure of
growing economic globalization.

ASIAN COUNTRIES
Other countries are also unhappy. Many countries have
started taking precautions.
Indonesia and Malaysia have established zones within which
these foreigners can do trade.
In Japan Big companies have to discuss with small traders.
There is Zoning system also. Hence these companies have to
establish their shops outside city limits.
There is wide discontent amongst shopkeepers & people in
the countries to which these store belong.
The city counselor of California & Chicago have refused to
allow opening of new shops to WALMART.
These shops are required to take permission in countries like
France, Germany and America.
8. NOW ITS TURN OF INDIA
The tough stand taken till recently by Central Govt., Foreign
Retail Traders could not enter India.
It is unfortunate that Central Cabinet has given approval to
FDI in Retail Trade.
Shift of Major retail trade to these big companies will render
small traders & their employees unemployed.
Many companies with the help of contract farming will sell
goods produced in farms directly from their chain of stores.
After establishing control over purchases & sale these
companies will start dictating.
These companies will keep only graduates and above in their
employment. There will be no scope for employment to
under graduate and others.
In the event of non receipt of payment of supplies, it
becomes impossible to reach owners.

11. REQUEST STOP FDI IN
RETAIL TRADE
If Domestic Retail Trade is allowed by Big MNC’s etc., there
will be Large Scale Unemployment.
A new class of unemployed called “Unemployed Traders”
will join the existing force of unemployed persons.
These companies will sell internationally procured products.
Domestic Industry will suffer.
Everybody knows how Big Fish eats away small fishes.
Keeping the experience of other countries in mind, Govt.
should not take any such decision for which the whole
country and coming generation will have to suffer.
