Answer:
This difference in FDI inflows into Ireland and Japan is accounted by the prospects of economic growth.
Explanation:
Ireland is a growing economy. Japan's economy has been shrinking for some years now. Ireland has improved its competitiveness. It is providing better open, transparent, conducive, and dependable investment environment for both foreign and domestic firms to thrive. It has eased the doing of business in the economy, provided access to imports and exports trade, and boasts of a relatively flexible labor market. These are backed by enhanced protection of intellectual property rights.
