Global FDI Flows 2023: 3% Growth Despite Challenges
27.02.2024
According to UNCTAD, the volume of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) in the global economy has reached $1.37 trillion in 2023 marking a 3% increase compared to 2022. Despite economic uncertainties and high interest rates affecting global investments the growth was primarily driven by certain European countries. Without their contribution global FDI would have declined by 18%. Within the European Union the FDI has seen an increase due to significant fluctuations in Luxembourg and the Netherlands. However in other developed countries inflows remained nearly stable or decreased. FDI flows into developing countries have experienced a 9% drop amounting to $841 billion. This decline was particularly noticeable in the developing markets of Asia and Africa, while Latin America remained relatively stable. Key trends in global FDI flows include:
In Kazakhstan, according to NBRK data, net FDI inflows decreased by 33.5% in the first nine months of 2023, totaling $4.6 billion. One of the main reasons for the decline is the shift in the investment distribution structure across sectors, including a reduction in key industries like mining (-32%) and financial-insurance activities (halved to $982.8 million).
