UNCTAD reported that for the third consecutive year, global FDI inflows rose in
2006 - by 38% - to reach $1,306 billion. The growth of FDI in 2006 occurred in all
three groups of economies: developed countries, developing countries and the
transition economies of South-East Europe and the Commonwealth of
Independent States (CIS). Global FDI inflows also rose in 2007 by 30% to reach
$1,833 billion, well above the previous all-time high set in 2000. The increase in
FDI largely reflected relatively high economic growth and strong corporate
performance in many parts of the world. Reinvested earnings accounted for
about 30% of total FDI inflows as a result of increased profits of foreign affiliates,
notably in developing countries. In 2006 FDI inflows in developed countries rose
by 45%
well over the rate of the previous two years to reach $857 billion,
flows to developing countries and the transition economies attained their highest
levels ever: $379 billion (a 21% increase over those in 2005) and $69 billion (a 68%
increase) respectively
