Sustainable economic growth has become primary concern of the policy makers and governments of various countries especially of developing nations of the world. Among the various methods to develop the economic development, one of the important vital source for such development has been the increase of the Foreign investment or FDI.

The Central Idea Behind This Paper Is The Link Between The Sustainable Economic Development And FDI. How It Is Linked Is The Primary Explanation I Would Like To Give.

What does sustainable economic development mean?

Sustainable economic development actually refer to the economic growth with the resources available. It’s the point of equilibrium between the economic needs of a country and the resources available to satisfy them. It mainly aims in bringing parity between the wants and needs of a nation with its resources. Sustainable economic development is point of check of the present generation needs and wants versus the future generation needs and resources.

Sustainable economic developments is a complex process consisting of a quantitative aspect that is the wealth of a country, a qualitative aspect that is its modes of achieving growth and also an intangible aspect which is a social organisation of a nation. It’s a combination of these three aspects. It a process which is linked with the development and growth of a nation. This concept demands a harmonization of the two important aspects which are the ecology and the economy.

The thing which must be respected is that the ecology has its limits .The resources that are available in particular ecology is limited in quantity which can gradually hamper the productivity and economy of a nation .On other side the unlimited wants and needs of the economy make it much more harder for harmonization of these aspect.

Sustainable economic developments relates to the concepts of efficiency and optimum utilization of resources and stepping towards a more systematic economy where there is least wastage and maximum satisfaction of wants .The present utilization of resources leads effecting both the present as well as the future generations.

The synergy between the man and environment, sustainable economic development mainly focuses on the development of technology, productivity, services and various other important and dominant sectors of economy that would lead to the efficient and developed economy.

The longitivity of development is dependent on what the sustainable economic development is actually based on, which is leading to its development. This concept is ultimate result of proper choices, various industrial techniques and proper financing. Proper reconciliation of these three factors will lead to better economy.

Various Ways To Increase The Sustainable Economic Development

1. Increased manufacturing\productivity
   Sustainable economic development which mainly focuses on the satisfying the needs,demands and wants of the humans and gradually leading to the increase in the wealth and growth can be actually done through increase in the productivity .It means by producing more number of goods and services which lead to the increase in the economic indexes of the country like Gross domestic products etc. By production of more goods and services there is an extensive integration of local, regional and national markets of an economy.
   
   But the drawback that lies within is that the production of more goods and services need more resources but as we know the ecological limitation that exist make it highly difficult for the nations to increase productivity. The efficient use of resources can be done but it would lead to increase to certain amount and the optimum utilization concept is speeding up it pace and reaching humans at very low rate .Many economies of the globe has not imbibed the concept of optimum utilization leading to low productivity and becoming a drawback to the economic growth .The zeal of increasing the productivity and wealth has made humans exploit the ecology beyond it limitations, making it difficult for present and future generations.
   
   
2. Proper choice
   This is one of the important factor that plays a crucial role in changing the economic growth and development either in positive way or completely in negative. As said one decision can make a lot of differs, in that sense a decision regarding investing of resources in particular project can be a boon or bane. The investment of resources in one project turning successful is completely uncertain as its effected by various other factors which can completely turn the game upside down.
   
   But making cautious decisions and choices and be a boon to the economy .One of the major drawback lies in this is the uncertainty lies within is that The resources can go completely into vain by one wrong choice, leading a gradual fall in the parameters of wealth.
   
   
3. proper financing
   this is factor that is interlinked with productivity aspect.
   Financing is an essential factor that enables to begin any project or increase the productivity. The sources of Finance available within one nation is restricted and cumbersome sometimes to avail it.

For every aspect the monetary funds are required, from changing the economic status of peoples to eradicate the poverty .But as said, the sources of availability of finance is limited which leads to hampering the economic status of a country. To enhance the potentiality of the economic factors also there is a necessity of finance.
