Glo<\/strong>bal foreign direct investment rose 14% y-o-y last year to <\/strong>USD 1.6 tn<\/strong>, marking a rebound after two consecutive years of decline, according to preliminary UN Trade and Development data in its Global Investment Trends Monitor report (pdf)<\/a>. But the headline figures hide a stark reality \u2014 it was mostly only developed nations that saw an uptick in FDI flows, and this was driven by a surge of AI and data center investment.<\/p>\n

By the numbers: <\/strong>Developed nations saw FDI flows increase 43% last year to USD 728 bn, accounting for some 55% of total global FDI. While in stark contrast, developing economies saw flows fall 2% to around USD 877 bn, and flows to least developed countries were \u201cstagnant or declining\" in three quarters of cases.<\/p>\n

Data centers \u2014 which are almost exclusively limited to developed nations \u2014 alone <\/strong>accounted for 20% of all global greenfield project values last year<\/strong>, with announced investments exceeding USD 270 bn. Alongside this, investments in semiconductor projects were up 35% throughout the year.<\/p>\n

In contrast, greenfield projects in renewable energy dropped by 28% to USD 197 bn<\/strong> as investors increasingly pull back from large-scale green infrastructure due to revenue risks and regulatory uncertainty, opting instead for the high-margin, proprietary infrastructure of AI.<\/p>\n
