Foreign direct investment, net inflows (% of GDP) Ranking
Foreign direct investment, net inflows (% of GDP) (%)
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is measured as a percentage of GDP and shows the scale of overseas investment received by each country. The higher the value, the more actively foreign capital is flowing into the economy. The top ranks include financial hubs such as Singapore and Luxembourg, as well as developing countries like Vietnam and Bangladesh that can leverage low-wage labor forces. These economies have investment incentive systems and geopolitical advantages. Meanwhile, developed countries at the lower end tend to have lower ratios relative to GDP because their economies are already mature and large in scale. This indicator is important for evaluating the potential for economic growth through job creation and technology transfer.
