European Union foreign direct investment
- Share to:
In 2000, direct investment continued to expand at high rates. World FDI flows - excluding intra-EU FDI flows - reached new record levels, with approximately EUR 800 billion invested during the year. The annual growth rate, though falling to its lowest level since 1997, still stood above 30 % for the fourth consecutive year. Intra-EU FDI (i.e. direct investment from one Member State to another)
climbed to EUR 650 billion (7.7 % of EU GDP). 2000 investment was particularly intense in Financial intermediation, Telecommunications and Business services. Available statistics however indicate a slowdown of FDI activity in 2001(1) in the general context of a less propitious investment climate.
