FDI flows reaches $1.3T last year amid economic slowdown, escalating geopolitical tensions.<\/p>\n
Global foreign direct investment (FDI) flows dropped 2% to $1.3 trillion in 2023 amid an economic slowdown and escalating geopolitical tensions, according to a report from UN’s trade and development body.<\/p>\n
“Weakening growth prospects, economic fracturing trends, trade and geopolitical tensions, industrial policies and supply chain diversification are reshaping FDI patterns, causing some multinational enterprises (MNEs) to adopt a cautious approach to overseas expansion,” the UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) said in the World Investment Report 2024.<\/p>\n
The figure is projected to grow modestly as the MNE profit levels remain high, financing conditions are easing and greenfield project announcements increased.<\/p>\n
International project finance deals, crucial for infrastructure investment, plunged 26% due to tight financing conditions,<\/p>\n
FDI flows to developing countries fell 7% from the prior year to $867 billion, reflecting an 8% decline in developing Asia. This figure decreased by 3% in Africa and by 1% in Latin America and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, flows to developed countries rose 9% to $464 billion.<\/p>\n
Inflows to structurally weak and vulnerable economies or least developed countries, on the other hand increased to $31 billion last year.<\/p>\n
