Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the global flow of foreign investments has somewhat come to a halt. All these vital resources have been estimated to fall sharply with respect to the previous year by $1.5 trillion, dropping below enough the trough during the global financial crisis. The flow is most affected in the developing countries including export-oriented and commodity-linked ones. In its 13th year, the World Investment Report is supporting policymakers by monitoring global and regional FDI trends and documenting national and international investment policy developments. This year’s Report naturally takes stock of the COVID-19 crisis. Moreover, it includes a new chapter, adding the request of the UN General Assembly, on investment in the Sustainable Development Goals. Let's know more about the World Investment Report.
