Global foreign direct investment or FDI rose by five per cent in 2010, the equivalent of 1.24 trillion dollars, according to an annual report by the UN Conference on Trade and Development or UNCTAD.
UNCTAD predicts that the recovery of FDI flows will continue in 2011 and return to levels it reached before the recent world financial crisis.
The report monitors foreign investments around the world, a key component of the world’s growth engine.
James Zhan, the Director of UNCTAD’s Investment and Enterprise Division, says the global economy is likely to recover this year.
«According to our forecast, we see that this year the global FDI will further recover maybe to its pre-crisis average levels. So it may increase this year to the level of 1.5 trillion US dollars so to speak.» (Duration: 21″)
UNCTAD’s global investment report contains analysis of the global trends in FDI and prevailing policies while offering recommendations and a statistical annex with data on FDI flows.
