Abstract
Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in 2011 increased in all major economic
groups, developed, developing and transition economies (UNCTAD, 2012). Developing
countries accounted for 45 per cent of global FDI inflows in 2011, of which East and
South-East Asia accounted for almost half. Inflows to the transition economies of
south-east Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Georgia
accounted for 6 per cent. In fact, the overall increase was driven by East, South-East
Asia and Latin America. In 2011 FDI outflows to developed countries also grew
strongly, reaching $748 billion, up 21 per cent from 2010. FDI flows to Europe
increased by 19 per cent, mainly owing to large cross-border mergers and acquisitions
(M&As) by foreign multinational corporations (MNCs).
