Overview: Foreign presence in the financial sector of emerging market economies (EMEs) increased dramatically over the course of the 1990s. In the second half of the decade, financial sector foreign direct investment (FSFDI) inflows were about eight times that of the preceding five years. While banks accounted for the lion's share of FSFDI, they were joined in the expansion in the latter half of the 1990s by securities and insurance firms. The focus of this paper is on FSFDI in the banking sector, but the considerations in principle also apply to other financial institutions. It provides an overview of trends in FSFDI since the beginning of the 1990s.
