Thus, if development is to be
measured in terms of income and wealth, the Asia region faces a mammoth challenge. In a recent
case in point, Credit Suisse’s Global Wealth Databank 2018i reportedly ranked Thailand as the
world’s most unequal country in terms of wealth distribution, followed by India and Russia. By the
year, the richest 1% Thais owned 66.9% of the country’s wealth compared to 58% in 2016. Despite
increased wealth due to rapid economic growth, distribution remains vastly unequal and
perpetuates an elite-ruling society in Thailand.

Bottom line, unless the investors behind the FDI are Impact Investors, or Social Investors, where the goal is to both make a return on capital while positively affecting the holistic food value chain, it is very difficult to achieve this “human rights” and “positive local citizenship” goal.
(...) Currently, there are FDI investors from China, India, and the Mideast who are seeking as much farmland as possible in order to produce food solely for export to their home markets. (...) This issue of sustainability and good local citizenship is going to become even more important as countries with large wealth funds and foreign currency reserves seek to acquire land resources in Africa primary to secure scarce African farmland resources.

REPORT OF THE SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR ON ADEQUATE HOUSING AS A COMPONENT OF THE RIGHT TO AN ADEQUATE STANDARD OF LIVING, AND ON THE RIGHT TO NON-DISCRIMINATION IN THIS CONTEXT : NOTE / BY THE SECRETARIAT
The Special Rapporteur suggests that, as a
way forward, States must redefine their relationship with private investors and international
financial institutions, and reform the governance of financial markets so that, rather than
treating housing as a commodity valued primarily as an asset for the accumulation of
wealth they reclaim housing as a social good, and thus ensure the human right to a place to
live in security and dignity.
(...) When rented homes or mortgages are owned by remote investors, money
mostly flows out of communities and simply creates greater global concentration of wealth.
(...) In contemporary Chile, the appropriation of land by large scale investors and
speculators, accumulating land and luxury properties, has meant that inner-city
redevelopment has displaced many traditional residents, exemplifying “the intertwined
roles of the state and assorted holders of economic capital in the production, distribution
and representation of urban exclusion and segregation”.42

investment”, p. 13.
