Answer: a. Foreign direct investment

b. Foreign portfolio investment

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Opening a retail store in a foreign country is a foreign direct investment. This simply means a scenario whereby one establishes a business in another country that is different from ones own country. For example an American establishing a business in Japan is a foreign direct investment.

b. Buying corporate stock in a retail chain in a foreign country is a foreign portfolio investment. This is a situation when one buys shares, bonds etc in another country.
