Some statistics in­ dicate that such fears are unfounded and that foreign investment may be helpful to the United States. Foreign investment in America accounted for less than 1 percent of the ps!l!T!s!?d tots! stock cl tangible assets including real estate in 1979. The commercial market for real estate in this country is estimated at $1 trillion. Foreign investment in the market accounts for about $5 billion, or only one-half of 1 percent. As for agricultural land, 1980 figures show that foreigners own just 6-10ths of 1 percent of the agricultural land in the U.S. Although foreign in­ vestment in the United States was up 23 percent in 1979r U.S. citizens and businesses still have almost four times more investments abroad than foreigners have in this country.At the current investment rate, it would take eight years for foreign investment to amount to an additional 1 percent of the 1979 stock of tangible assets. The trend in foreign in­ vestment actually benefits the United States because it auus iu iiie imiow of much- needed capital. Foreign investment alleviates the shortfall of domestic savings by transferring the savings of other nations to the U.S. This is especially beneficial today with the high cost of borrowing money. In­ vestments abroad also result in an improvement in our nation's balance of payments.
