POst # 6


The majority of MNCs come from more economically developed countries such as the US and UK. Multinational corporations invest in other MEDCs - the US car company Ford, for example, makes large numbers of cars in the UK. But MNCs also invest in less economically developed countries - for example the British DIY store B&Q now has stores in China.
Factors attracting MNCs to a country may include:
cheap raw materials
cheap labour supply
good transport
access to market, where the goods are sold
friendly government policies
