FDI IN FIGURES - OECD

1 FDI IN FIGURES October 2020 COVID-19 disruptions send global FDI plunging 50% Global FDI flows fell by 50% in the first half of 2020 compared to the second half of 2019, to USD 364 billion, the lowest half-year level since 2013. They dropped by 41% in Q1 and by 39% in Q2 on a quarter-to-quarter basis. Inflows to the OECD area dropped by 74% in the same period, largely driven by lower flows to the United States and by disinvestments from Switzerland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Outflows from the OECD area decreased by 43%. OECD area equity capital inflows dropped by 68%, driven primarily by equity divestments in Switzerland and the Netherlands and partly by investors becoming more reluctant to explore new investment opportunities in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

They dropped by 48% in OECD G20 economies and by 30% in non-OECD G20 economies. Decreases were widespread across all non-OECD G20 countries, except in South Africa where FDI inflows increased by 48%. In the first half of 2020, Ireland was the major FDI recipient worldwide, followed by China, the United States and Luxembourg.4 Outflows
