Introduction

It is elementary that investment, whether domestic or international, plays a key role in developing an economy. The policies supporting investments and the objectives of investments also play a key role in changing an economy and its structure. The principal objectives of increasing the flow of investments is ostensibly the development of an economy, but in the final analysis, the spill over effect of investments are extremely important – the development of the people in a country. Law has a great role to play too in organising, monitoring and controlling investments.
