UNCTAD PUBLISHES FORECASTING STUDY ON FDI

Geneva, Switzerland, 10 November 2004

Prospects for Foreign Direct Investment in 2004-2007, a new publication launched today by UNCTAD, provides detailed insights into future trends in foreign direct investment (FDI), including:

  • FDI prospects by region and by industry
  • ranking of the most attractive locations for FDI over the next three years
  • the most important source countries for FDI
  • FDI policy trends
  • how countries intend to attract FDI

The publication - the most comprehensive forecasting study on FDI available - is based on three surveys of transnational corporations (TNCs), investment promotion agencies (IPAs) and FDI experts conducted by UNCTAD earlier this year. It is the first in a new series of annual studies that will monitor upcoming trends in FDI and related policies as part of UNCTAD´s Global Investment Prospects Assessment project.

A print version will be available shortly.
