FDI continues recovery in 2014
An increase in capital investment in 2014 suggests that global FDI is beginning to recover from the downturn experienced during the global financial crisis.
In 2014, greenfield FDI continued to show signs of recovery, with capital investment increasing by an estimated 1% from $642bn in 2013 to $649bn and job creation increasing by 17% to 1.84 million. However, the number of FDI projects declined slightly in 2014, decreasing by 1% to 12,069.
China was the highest ranked destination country by capital investment, with $75bn-worth of FDI projects announced in 2014, while the US was the highest ranked destination country by number of FDI projects, with a total of 1577 FDI projects announced in this period.
