How developed countries will participate in the Global South economy? Doing like the Swiss! Nestlé is a bank with a HQ in Switzerland investing in the global market.
Holcim a Swiss cement giant? No. Just the Swiss banker profiting from the global market. Holcim acquired a majority stake in Huaxin Cement Co., Ltd. in 2006, becoming the first foreign company to take a controlling stake in a listed Chinese firm through a pilot scheme.

Holcim wants hands off and let's Huaxin Cement take care of the business and the Swiss become passive investors, using Chinese clout to deal with African market. Like Nestle, the food producer, only the HQ and the capital is in Switzerland. The Swiss are just the bankers.
