The Relationship Between Investment and Growth Through Supply and Demand Analysis


more labor, investment in research and development, etc., thereby expanding and improving production capacity, improving the quality of goods and services. For developing countries, low income and savings lead to a lack of financial resources for investment, thereby reducing growth rates. Low growth leads to low savings, creating a vicious cycle of poverty. To escape this vicious cycle, there must be strong breakthroughs in mobilizing financial resources for investment, creating a 'push' for growth.

Second, mobilized financial resources will stimulate investment, which is also a part of aggregate demand. According to World Bank data, investment accounts for 24% to 28% of the aggregate demand structure of all countries in the world. Increased investment increases aggregate demand, thereby promoting growth. For aggregate demand, the impact of investment is short-term. Increased investment increases aggregate demand, thereby creating stimulus to increase aggregate supply. Increased aggregate supply leads to increased income and accumulation, increasing aggregate demand. This is the upward spiral of growth. The relationship between investment and aggregate demand is shown in Figure 2.1. When investment capital increases, aggregate demand shifts from D to D', increasing output from Qo to Q1 and increasing prices from Po to P1. Investment in production will then shift the aggregate supply curve from S to S', increasing output from Q1 to Q2 and reducing prices from P1 to P2.

Figure 2.1: Relationship between investment and growth through supply and demand analysis


On the basis of improving production capacity and aggregate demand, financial resources for development investment contribute to increasing economic growth rate. Research results of economists show that to maintain the growth rate at an average level, the investment rate must reach from 15% to 25% compared to national income, depending on the ICOR coefficient of each country. If the ICOR remains unchanged, GDP growth depends entirely on the investment rate. Experience of other countries shows that the ICOR index depends strongly on the economic structure and efficiency in industries, regions as well as on the effectiveness of economic policy in general.

Third, mobilized financial resources will allow the formation of investment capital for industries and services with high scientific and technological content, thereby promoting the process of economic restructuring, improving the quality of growth, an important factor ensuring sustainable socio-economic development. Reality shows that the inevitable path to rapid and sustainable growth at the desired speed is to increase investment to create rapid development in areas with high scientific content, creating great added value. Thus, investment policies have a decisive orientation in the process of economic restructuring in countries to achieve rapid and sustainable growth of the entire economy. Investment also helps to resolve development imbalances between regions, lift underdeveloped regions out of poverty, maximize comparative advantages in terms of resources, geographical location, and economy of regions with the potential for faster development, and act as a springboard to promote other regions to develop together, thereby contributing to solving issues of equity and social security.

Fourth, mobilized financial resources will create favorable conditions to help improve scientific and technological capacity and level.

Fifth, mobilized financial resources will allow for funding to be available for investment in education, health care, job creation, environmental protection and other development contents, which means improving the quality of growth. In other words, development investment contributes to improving the quality of life of the people and ensuring social security.


ensure sustainable growth, for people. This will also have an impact on growth.

Thus, it can be seen that financial resources play an important role in the growth and development of the socio-economy in both quality and quantity. It is a necessary condition for growth. The sufficient condition is to use resources effectively and economically.

2.2.1. Concept of financial resource mobilization

Financial resource mobilization is a process carried out through policies, measures and forms that the State, social organizations and economic entities propose and apply to convert financial resources from potential form into monetary funds used for socio-economic development goals.

To have investment capital, there must be a source of formation, a place where the capital is generated for use. Clearly identifying the source of capital, measures, mobilization channels and mobilization tools plays a decisive role in the formation of socio-economic infrastructure projects. Mobilizing financial resources from different sources to the place where those resources are used must be done through different mobilization channels.

The term financial resources is sometimes used interchangeably or confused with the concept of capital in many studies. However, financial resources should only be used in the sense of capital when the money is mobilized for use in business investment.

2.2.2. Forms of mobilizing financial resources

Mobilizing financial resources helps investors (the state) have funds to pay for investments in the construction of infrastructure projects that will be formed in the future. To form assets, it is necessary to have the necessary investment financial resources; investors often use sources such as bonds, loans, equity capital, and subsidies. In addition, to have revenue to pay for investment capital, maintenance and operating costs of infrastructure projects, investors often focus on mobilizing from sources such as taxes, tolls, tickets, etc.


facilities and other charges. For most governments, raising resources for an infrastructure project is calculated either through tax revenues or through consumers. Developers often face the challenge of generating future revenue streams large enough to pay for the capital invested in creating the infrastructure asset.

Channels for mobilizing financial resources to invest in socio-economic infrastructure.

The main mobilization channel is the means, the bridge between capital and investment capital, including the following channels: state capital mobilization channel, mobilization channel of intermediary financial institutions, capital mobilization channel of enterprises, financial resource mobilization channel of the population. Or we can classify the channel of mobilizing public financial resources, the channel of mobilizing private financial resources and the channel of mobilizing financial resources combining the public and private sectors, also known as public-private partnership - PPP.

Both the public and private sectors need to use debt instruments to raise capital for infrastructure projects such as: project finance, business and leaseback, asset-based lending, commercial structured finance, infrastructure bonds, intermediary capital, development banks, etc.


According to Table 2.1, from the perspective of ownership structure, the mobilization of financial resources to invest in infrastructure projects formed from public or private financial resources, the level of State control will also change over time or the life cycle of the project. The State owns and controls the entire infrastructure project until the complete privatization of the projects.

2.2.2.1. Mobilizing State financial resources

The State uses its power to concentrate a part of the total national income into centralized state monetary funds such as: State budget fund, non-state budget state financial fund as a source to carry out socio-economic development tasks on a national scale (insurance fund, road maintenance fund, etc.). Sources for forming centralized state monetary funds include: Revenue from production, business, circulation, distribution of domestic goods and services; revenue from loans, aid from the Government, non-governmental organizations, foreign individuals; revenue from leasing, selling state assets. In addition, when the state's demand for investment capital increases, budget revenue sources cannot meet the demand, the State also uses other investment capital mobilization tools such as: issuing government bonds, local government bonds, national construction bonds, state treasury bonds.

Mobilizing state financial resources holds a leading position in the system of mobilization channels serving the country's socio-economic development. Through the legal system and financial instruments, the state mobilization channel has the ability to influence, adjust, and control the scale and scope of operations of other mobilization channels in the economy.

Governments of countries as well as local authorities always give top priority to state budget capital for investment in socio-economic infrastructure development. Basic construction investment expenditure is a large expenditure of the state budget, an inevitable requirement to ensure socio-economic development of each country. First of all, development investment expenditure from the state budget aims to create technical facilities, production capacity to serve and reserve necessary goods and materials of the economy. At the same time, development investment expenditure from the state budget also has the meaning of seed capital to attract domestic capital sources and


Foreign investment in development according to the State's orientation in each period. The scale and proportion of State budget expenditure for development investment in each period depends on the State's socio-economic development policies and guidelines and the capacity of State budget capital. In general, countries always give State budget priority to development investment expenditure, especially developing countries with poor infrastructure. However, the structure of State budget development investment expenditure is not stable between socio-economic development periods. The order and proportion of State budget development investment expenditure priorities in each socio-economic field often change greatly between periods.

Government bond capital source: Government bonds (TPCP) are issued for the purpose of investing in socio-economic development under the expenditure tasks of the central budget. This is an additional source of capital, supporting the annual infrastructure development investment of the state in addition to investment capital sources from the state budget, with a highly concentrated nature to support socio-economic infrastructure development according to the socio-economic development goals and strategies in each period.

State credit capital: Bank credit is an important capital mobilization channel for public investment. However, because investment in economic and social infrastructure requires a large amount of capital but capital recovery is slow or impossible, very few commercial banks directly invest capital to build economic and social infrastructure, but this capital is mainly concentrated in the Development Bank, a financial institution 100% owned by the Government and operating not for profit.

Official Development Assistance (ODA) capital: In developing countries, ODA is one of the important capital sources of the State, used for priority goals in socio-economic development. One of the focuses of ODA capital use is to invest in socio-economic infrastructure development. Based on investment capital needs and development orientations by sector, field and territory set out in socio-economic development strategies and plans, governments of countries set out strategic orientations, policies and priority areas for ODA capital use for each period. Priority areas for attracting and using ODA include: agricultural and rural development (including agriculture, irrigation, forestry, aquaculture combined with hunger eradication and poverty reduction); construction of modern economic infrastructure; construction of social infrastructure (healthcare, education and training,
