Global FDI falls 11% in 2024 amid mounting uncertainty: UNCTAD
Global FDI fell 11 per cent to $1.49 trillion in 2024, marking a second year of decline, as per UNCTAD. While Africa saw strong growth due to a large project, Europe’s inflows plunged. Investment in key sectors like energy and infrastructure dropped. Digital FDI rose 14 per cent but remained concentrated. UNCTAD urges coordinated reforms to close a $4 trillion sustainable development financing gap.
