FDI inflows reached US$150,9b as the it strengthened its investment role.<\/p>\n
Singapore became the world’s second largest recipient of foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2025 after inflows increased to US$150.9b, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).<\/p>\n
In its World Investment Report 2026, UNCTAD said Singapore moved up from third place in 2024 as FDI inflows rose from US$136.2b. The organisation attributed Singapore’s position to its role as a headquarters location and financial centre for international investment flows.<\/p>\n
The report noted that changes in rankings amongst the world’s largest FDI recipients are often driven by a limited number of transactions in financial centres and investment hubs, rather than broad-based changes in productive investment.<\/p>\n
Singapore also strengthened its position as a global investment centre in 2025, with its inward FDI stock reaching US$3.17t, whilst its outward FDI stock rose to US$2.07t.<\/p>\n
Outbound investment also accelerated during the year. Singapore ranked as the world’s sixth largest source of FDI after outward investment increased to US$94.2b, up from US$55.3b in 2024.<\/p>\n
Regionally, South-East Asia became the largest FDI recipient subregion in developing Asia, with inflows rising to US$244b from US$222b.<\/p>\n
UNCTAD also highlighted the Johor\u2013Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) as an example of cross-border investment cooperation.<\/p>\n
It said approved investments in the zone reached about US$17.3b in the first nine months of 2025.<\/p>\n
The report said the initiative strengthens the two countries’ joint investment platform through improved connectivity, coordinated investment facilitation and targeted incentives.<\/p>\n
Globally, FDI increased 6% to US$1.6t in 2025, according to UNCTAD.<\/p>\n
