<\/a> Foreign direct investment into Egypt fell 39% in 2020<\/strong> as fears over the coronavirus pandemic caused a historic drop in global investment flows, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development\u2019s (UNCTAD) most recent Investment Trends Monitor (pdf)<\/a>. Egypt attracted USD 5.5 bn of FDI last year, down from USD 8.5 bn in 2019<\/a>, in what was a sharper drop than the 32% average among North African economies and 18% dip across Africa. Despite this, <\/strong>Egypt remained the top destination for FDI on the continent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Developing economies got off fairly lightly<\/strong>, seeing a 12% fall in FDI during the year. This compares to the 42% decline in global flows (amounted to some USD 630 bn), which was slightly worse than UNCTAD\u2019s projection for the year made in October<\/a>. To put that in context:<\/strong> That\u2019s 30% lower than the nadir seen in the aftermath of the global financial crisis.<\/p>\n

The pain was felt most by advanced economies in Europe and the US<\/strong>, which saw a 69% plunge in inflows. Overall, developing economies still account for the bulk of global inflows, reaching a record 72%.<\/p>\n

FDI will remain weak in 2021<\/strong> due to low greenfield finance announcements last year\u2014which fell by about 63% in Africa and 46% for developing economies \u2014 and continued uncertainty over the rollout of covid-19 vaccines. Growth in 2021 is expected to largely come from less productive cross border M&A \u2014 particularly in tech and healthcare \u2014 rather than new projects. And as for new industrial investment: the outlook \u201cdoes not bode well,\u201d the report says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
