UNCTAD Division on Investment and Enterprise director Li Nan said in an
interview China will remain a major two-way investment economy in 2025, with
inbound FDI shifting from scale expansion toward structural optimization and
quality upgrades. UNCTAD’s World Investment Report 2026 shows global FDI rose 6%
YoY to $1.6tn in 2025; developing economies captured more than half of global
FDI, and China ranked among the world’s largest for both inward and outward
investment.
