Foreign direct investments rose 11% y-o-y to USD 1.4 tn in 2024<\/strong>, though figures dipped 8% when excluding European conduit economies, according to the latest Global Investment Trends Monitor (pdf)<\/a> released by UN Trade and Development. Greenfield projects fell 8% y-o-y, while their value fell 7% \u2014 though still remaining only second to their 2023 peak. <\/p>\n

(Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p>\n

The Middle East attracted USD 70 bn in FDI last year<\/strong>, marking a 13% increase y-o-y, with diversification initiatives and mega-projects in renewable energy, technology, and tourism leading the way, the Khaleej Times<\/a> reports. Saudi Arabia alone recorded USD 30 bn in FDI inflows, spurred by transformative projects like the USD 500 bn Neom development, but the Middle East and GCC stand out as a whole as resilient regions, driven by diversification strategies and sustainability-focused investments.<\/p>\n

International project finance \u2014 most critical for infrastructure projects \u2014 continued a downward trend <\/strong>with a 26% decline in volume and a decline of about a third in terms of value. Meanwhile, cross-border M&A activity fell 13% y-o-y, though total values increased by 2%. <\/p>\n

Expect \u201cmoderate growth\u201d for FDI in 2025, though not without downside risks. <\/strong>A toxic mashup of geopolitical tensions, inflation, and shifting trade dynamics could spur uncertainty among investors and spell trouble for global FDI flows. Still, some investors \u2014 private equity funds in particular \u2014 are expected to use up a lot of their dry powder, especially on tech firms amid the ongoing AI boom. <\/p>\n

Prospects look good for the Middle East: <\/strong>The GCC region is expected to see vibrant FDI growth in 2025, fueled by improved financing conditions and an increase in mergers and acquisitions, Khaleej Times quotes the report as saying. <\/p>\n
