The World Investment Report 2022 launched by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) indicates that foreign direct investment (FDI) recovered to pre-pandemic levels in 2021 reaching nearly $1.6 trillion but this course is unlikely to be sustained in 2022.

Global FDI Recovered in 2021, But Uncertainty Looms in 2022

Renewed pandemic impacts and factors like the Russia-Ukraine war leading to high food and fuel prices and tighter financing clouding the FDI horizon, UNCTAD foresees that the growth momentum of 2021 cannot be sustained and that global FDI flows in 2022 are likely to move on a downward trajectory, at best remaining flat.
