FEMIP and the development of SMEs in the Mediterranean
Private sector development has been one of the top operational priorities of the Facility for Euro-Mediterranean Investment and Partnership (FEMIP) since it was set up in October 2002. By 2020, the partner countries will have to create 22 million jobs in order to contain their current rate of unemployment. Developing SMEs and the private sector, and enhancing productive foreign direct investment (FDI) and transnational corporate partnerships are the best means of meeting the socioeconomic challenges facing the Mediterranean countries.

Drawing on a large body of re-
search, he showed that FDI was at-
tracted by a broad range of factors.
One of the strongest drivers of FDI
is the size of and distance to the
host country. Economic fundamen-
tals of this kind account for around
half of world FDI flows. The rest is
essentially determined by policies,
although research shows that the
policies that attract FDI are not limit-
ed to incentives targeting foreign
investors per se. Instead, FDI is at-

human capital. It provides evidence that—although crucial as enablers for the Irish economic
performance—neither the rapid expansion of the compulsory education system in the 1970s and 1980s
nor the sheer volume of FDI inflows can by themselves explain why Ireland has grown so much faster
than other world economies. Instead, it argues that higher education, especially the
vocational/technical slant of educational provision, and the sector composition of FDI in favour of
high-tech industries, were self
