The most urgent need of the under-developed countries is for investment capital. Governments and international agencies can play a part in meeting this demand, but private enterprise from outside has a great opportunity - some would say a duty - to share in the provision of sufficient capital for the healthy growth of the emergent nations.
How to do this to the best advantage of the countries concerned and without incurring charges of economic imperialism, while safeguarding the legitimate interests of the investor, is the nub of the discussion.
