Which feature most clearly distinguishes FPI from Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)?
FPI is more liquid and can be exited quickly because it is held in tradable securities, whereas FDI represents a long-term stake with control or significant influence. This is why FPI flows are volatile, while FDI is stable and typically brings technology and management skills.
- AFPI is generally more liquid and can be withdrawn quickly, while FDI reflects a longer-term stake with control or influenceCorrect
- BFPI always brings in technology and management expertise, while FDI does not
- CFPI is permitted only in unlisted companies, while FDI is permitted only in listed companies
- DFPI is made only by Indian residents, while FDI is made only by non-residents
Explanation
FPI is largely in tradable securities and can be sold fast, which makes it volatile, often called hot money. FDI involves a lasting interest and control, with technology and management inputs. The distractor reversing technology transfer is wrong because that is a typical FDI feature.
