In spite of declining foreign direct investment (FDI), most of the foreign companies polled credited Taiwan and South Korea as being the second most attractive investment destinations in Asia after China, with high potential in the electronics, tele-communications, financial and biotech industries.
According to the Ministry of Economic Affairs, FDI has dropped to US$1.45 billion in the first six months this year from US$7.56 billion in 2000, US$5 billion in 2001 and US$3.2 billion last year.
