I just meant that stability brings about investment. I used country, I could have used company, or project or sector or whatever. And whatever the source of the investement (cross-border or domestic).
Now someone will tell me that investment brings stability, and not the opposite. Well, both are probably true.
And yes, stability of the tax / legal framework is not the only factor at play in the investment decision. 'La fin désastreuse a répondu aux moyens indignes' Germain Tillion
