Global FDI at a Crossroads

According to the latest report on global investment trends, published by the UNCTAD, foreign direct investment is at a crossroads.

Particular attention should be drawn to key points such as... - A sharp decline in the volume of foreign direct investment in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the weakening of the global economy. - Expected recovery of investments in 2021 under the influence of an improved economic situation and government stimulus programs. - Trends in investment across different regions of the world: Asia and Africa remain attractive for investors, while Latin America and Central Asia are facing difficulties. - The growing role of sustainable investments and green technologies in attracting capital. - Investment prospects in developing countries and the need to create a conducive investment environment.

As noted in the report, "It is important to adopt innovative measures to attract investments, support sustainable development, and achieve sustainable development goals by 2030."
