1 Foreign Direct Investment in the United States 2014 Report ORGANIZATION FOR INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT 1225 NINETEENTH STREET, NW, SUITE 501 WASHINGTON, DC

2 Overview Foreign direct investment in the United States known as FDIUS totaled nearly $2.8 trillion through on a historical-cost basis. FDIUS is equivalent to about 16.5 percent of U.S. gross domestic product. Each year foreign firms make new investments in the United States and others grow their well-established U.S. operations, which benefit the American economy in numerous ways. Foreign firms build new factories, fund research and development, and employ millions of Americans in well-paying jobs. In alone, international firms invested $236 billion in the U.S. economy, a 35 percent increase from Last year was the third best year for inward direct investment over the past decade. The illustration on the right shows that in equity drove much of this increase up $33 billion over the previous year. Reinvestment of earnings rose slightly. Debt instruments of $9.4 billion were positive last year. Worldwide investment followed a similar, although a less robust, pattern. Globally, annual foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows totaled $1.45 trillion in, a nine percent increase from 2012, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) World Investment Report 2014 (WIR). Foreign Direct Investment Flows to the United States Equity Reinvestment of Earnings Debt Instruments $175.2 B $93.9 B $236.3 B $126.9 B Whether the United States will retain its status as the world s most attractive investment location depends largely on future macroeconomic and financial conditions. For the second year in a row, A.T. Kearney s FDI Confidence Index ranked the United States as the world's top market in UNCTAD s WIR predicts that global FDI could rise to $1.6 trillion in 2014 and possibly reach $1.8 trillion by Cash holdings estimated at $4.5 trillion also remain high among the world s 5,000 largest multinational companies. More foreign direct investment dollars flowed to the United States last year than to any other single country in the world. International investment in the U.S. market topped other large markets, including China, Russia, Hong Kong, and Brazil. However, the World Investment Report shows foreign companies invested more in the larger European Union (EU) market than in the United States in. Worldwide, cumulative foreign inward investment rose to $25.5 trillion through. The U.S. share dropped to less than one-fifth last year from more than a third in 2000 because competition for foreign investment dollars has increased, and multinational companies have expanded their investments in faster growing developing markets. For the fourth consecutive year, more than half of all foreign direct investment in flowed to developing and transition economies; in fact, developed countries now account for only 39 percent of global FDI inflows. $97.5 B -$16.2 B 2012 $99.9 B $9.4 B UNCTAD s WIR cites global economic fragility and policy uncertainty as underlying factors for a delayed recovery in worldwide investment. And while most nations are eager to attract foreign investment dollars, many are also engaging in protectionist activities, such as reinforcing the regulatory environment for foreign investment and tightly monitoring cross-border mergers and acquisitions. Note: Cumulative foreign direct investment in the United States is shown on a historical-cost basis in this report. Data for inward direct investment (foreign direct investment in the United States) are shown on a directional basis. About the Data This report represents the latest available statistics on foreign direct investment in the United States at the time of publication in October The United States defines FDIUS (inward investment) as the ownership or control, directly or indirectly, by one foreign entity of a 10 percent or more ownership share of an incorporated or unincorporated U.S. business enterprise. 1

3 Cumulative FDIUS Climbs to $2.8 Trillion Annual foreign direct investment inflows over the last few years have pushed total foreign investment on a historical-cost basis to $2.8 trillion through. Foreign companies invested more in the United States than any other country in the world last year, whether measured cumulatively or by investment. There are any number of reasons why foreign investors prefer the American economy. First, and perhaps most important, the United States has one of the most open markets and investment climates in the world. Other advantages attracting foreign companies include: Cumulative Foreign Direct Investment in the United States, $2.1 T $2.3 T $2.4 T $2.6 T $2.8 T an unrivaled consumer market; a world-class system of higher education; a skilled and productive workforce; an entrepreneurial culture of innovation and risk taking; a transparent regulatory environment; and, the largest venture capital and private equity market in the world Data are shown on a historical-cost basis, or cost at time of investment. United States Faces Increasing Competition for Foreign Investment Dollars Worldwide Inward Stock of Foreign Direct Investment, 2000 and While foreign direct investment is an important part of the U.S. economy, the U.S. slice of worldwide FDI has shrunk as competitors vie for investment dollars by opening their economies to global investors. The United States held only 19 percent of the world s inward FDI stock through, an increase of 17 percent from the previous year. In contrast, the U.S. accounted for more than a third of the world s foreign investment stock at the beginning of the 21 st century. The European Union s share rose to 34 percent in from 31 percent in Foreign companies are investing more in transition and developing economies; nevertheless, the total stock of inward investment in these markets is still lower than in developed economies. Among the transition economies of southern and eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States, including the Russian Federation, the stock of foreign investment increased to four percent through from one percent in Developing economies saw the largest gain, claiming a third through, with China at four percent and Brazil holding three percent.

4 Foreign Direct Investment Inflows in Third Strongest Over Past Decade Foreign companies invested $236 billion in the United States last year, the third highest since Foreign direct investment in the United States consists of reinvestment of earnings, equity other than reinvestment of earnings investment, and debt instruments investment. Over the past decade, foreign direct investment in the United States peaked in 2008, reaching $310 billion. The recent global economic recession had a direct influence on inward direct investment transactions. In the United States, foreigners dramatically reduced their investment in 2009, which dropped more than half from the prior year. Foreign investment in the United States increased in 2010 and again in 2011, before dropping in Last year, foreign companies' confidence in the U.S. market returned, and inward direct investment rose 35 percent.

6 Norway and Denmark Post Impressive Growth Rates in FDIUS Between 2012 and Two Scandinavian countries substantially increased their foreign direct investment positions in the United States between 2012 and. Norway more than tripled its investment, and Denmark raised its stake nearly twentyfold. Inward investment from sixth-ranked Ireland totaled $15.4 billion in after a billion dollar disinvestment in By comparison, direct investment from the Netherlands shrank 64 percent in from $36 billion in French investment also dropped sharply, falling to $3.3 billion in from $22.9 billion the previous year. Notably, Chinese direct investment flows fell in after rising every year since Italian investment was down by four percent between 2012 and.
