"The decline of 2018 global FDI was mainly due to the developed countries, whose FDI inflows dropped 40 percent, while FDI flows to the developing countries as a whole increased by 3 percent. That was not big, but showed a relatively stable rise."

Global foreign direct investment (FDI) flows continued their slide in 2018, but China bucked that trend and was the largest developing-economy FDI recipient in the world, a United Nations agency said Monday.
The UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) released its 2019 Investment Trends Monitor, saying FDI should increase in 2019, but that underlying trends remain weak.
Global FDI fell by 19 percent in 2018 to an estimated 1.2 trillion U.S. dollars from 1.47 trillion in 2017, and the third consecutive drop brought FDI flows back to the lowest point reached after the global financial crisis, said the report.
FDI flows to developing economies remained resilient, rising to an estimated 694 billion U.S. dollars, but the increase was almost all seen in East and Southeast Asia, according to the report.
"The decline of 2018 global FDI was mainly due to the developed countries, whose FDI inflows dropped 40 percent, while FDI flows to the developing countries as a whole increased by 3 percent. That was not big, but showed a relatively stable rise," said James Zhan, UNCTAD's Director of Investment and Enterprise.
Developing economies in Asia attracted around 502 billion U.S. dollars of FDI in 2018, up 5 percent, according to the report.
China was the largest developing-economy FDI recipient, attracting around 142 billion U.S. dollars. That's an increase of 3 percent, including a rise in investment in manufacturing, the report said.
"The rise was small but stable, and FDI flows to China have reached new highs in several consecutive years, showing stable growth," said Zhan.
He said the primary reasons that investment flows increased into China at a very high level included factors such as further liberalization, particularly in the service sector and in the financial sector, and intensified efforts for promoting investment in high-tech industries.
