Brief History and Background of NICs
The NIC concept became widely recognized in the 1970s. During the period, Asian countries – also known as the “Four Asian Tigers” – Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan, dominated in economic prosperity and technological innovation. The four countries showed great industrial growth since the 1960s and are now industrialized countries with high-income economies.
The “Asian Tigers” and countries that are now considered NICs show clear dissimilarities that can be attributed to a mixture of a high gross national income per capita, sound export-oriented economic policies, and transparent political processes.
Characteristics of NICs
NICs typically receive investment capital from foreign developed countries. The capital is attracted to the country’s comparatively lower labor costs, land, or other inputs. It is largely invested in establishing production facilities for speedy productivity growth and industrialization.
NICs tend to achieve a large sum of capital and investments. It is mainly financed from a high inclination to export machinery, consumables, and domestic savings. NICs typically experience speedy productivity growth and industrialization.
Governments of NICs tend to control their industrialization and encourage manufacturing industries to export their products. Profits generated through exports
are normally reinvested into the domestic economy.
The practice brings great socio-economic benefits, including the growth of businesses and an increase in salaries and wages. The increment in salaries and wages encourages consumer spending, and the workforce can support local businesses for goods and services. It is known as the multiplier effect.
