What are different methods of international financing?

International financing can be achieved through various methods, including foreign direct investment (FDI), where companies invest directly in foreign businesses or assets. Other methods include portfolio investment, which involves buying shares or bonds in foreign markets, and trade financing, which supports international trade transactions through instruments like letters of credit. Additionally, multilateral and bilateral loans from institutions such as the World Bank or regional development banks provide funding for specific projects in developing countries. Lastly, crowdfunding and venture capital are increasingly being used to finance international startups and initiatives.
