Global FDI falls 11% in 2024, UNCTAD report shows
Foreign direct investment (FDI) fell by 11% worldwide in 2024, according to the World Investment Report 2025 published by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
This marks the second consecutive year of decline in global FDI, the report highlighted, noting that investments "dropped sharply in developed economies, particularly in Europe."
In developing countries, incoming flows remained broadly stable, but this apparent stability masked deeper challenges. In many economies, capital stagnates or is not directed toward key sectors, such as infrastructure, energy, technology, and industries that drive job creation, the report emphasized.
UNCTAD’s findings underscore the need for policies that attract and channel investment to sectors critical for sustainable growth and economic recovery worldwide.
