How fast is Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) growing?

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) refers to an investment made by an individual or company in one country into business interests in another country. This can involve establishing new business operations or acquiring business assets in the foreign country. FDI is distinct from foreign portfolio investment, as it implies a lasting interest and a significant degree of influence or control over the foreign enterprise's management. FDI can encompass various forms, including mergers and acquisitions, building new facilities, reinvesting profits from overseas operations, and intercompany loans.
