The world crisis and its worsening since 2011 second semester have consolidated the direct foreign investment as the most stable course of international financing. In the last years, the developing and transforming economies have received increasingly flows. Reasons explaining such behavior may be found within the crisis consequences in the leading issuers of the developed capitalist countries, which have determined that transnational corporations develop more active strategies increasingly involving the underdeveloped countries, and, mainly, the greater dynamic emerging markets. However, the present world scenario, overfilled with uncertainty and challenges, transfers to financial flows, particularly to direct foreign investment, a clear self-distrust feature in its quantitative determinations, destinies, and regional and sectorial priorities, and implications and consequences of its elimination.

Keywords : transnational corporations; developing economies; financial flows; emerging markets.
