International investment is the product of the development of commodity economy to a certain stage and develops with the development of international capital. When the commodity economy developed into a capitalist society, bank capital integrated with productive capital and developed day by day, which promoted the further expansion of capital accumulation and formed a large-scale financial capital. There was a large amount of capital surplus. Capital export was the early stage. Various forms of international investment also emerged.

As the content of international economic transactions continues to enrich, the content and form of investment are also constantly evolving. Judging from the historical process of international capital activities, international investment activities first manifest themselves as the movement of monetary capital, that is, international indirect investment in the main forms of international lending and international securities investment, which is marked by the emergence of transnational banks. The second manifestation is the movement of productive capital, that is, international direct investment, whose symbol is the emergence of multinational corporations.
