On July, 13th<\/sup>, 2021 Iryna Kramar<\/a><\/strong>, Professor, Doctor of Science (Economics) from Ternopil Ivan Puluj National Technical University<\/a><\/strong> gave a lecture during the FINTALKS <\/strong>week at the School of Commerce, MIT World Peace University, Pune, INDIA.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The topic of the speech was: \u201cTrends of Foreign Direct Investments\u201d<\/strong> which is a relevant topic nowadays due to the COVID-19 pandemics. Professor Iryna Kramar Global foreign direct investment (FDI) is expected to \u201crecover some lost ground\u201d in 2021, and even jump back to pre-Covid levels in 2022 \u201cat the upper bound of projections\u201d although prospects remain \u201chighly uncertain\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While uncertainties persist and the recovery will depend on, among other factors, \u201cthe pace of economic recovery and the possibility of pandemic relapses\u201d, Unctad\u2019s latest forecasts mirror an improving macroeconomic environment. Back in January, it expected global FDI to remain \u201cweak\u201d throughout 2021, while in the previous World Investment Report, published in mid-2020 right at the onset of the pandemic, it expected FDI to fall by 5% to 10% in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Kramar also mentioned that the FDI recovery will be uneven according to the World Investment Report 2021. Developed economies are expected to drive global growth in FDI, both because of strong cross-border mergers and acquisitions activity and large-scale public investment support. FDI inflows to Asia will remain resilient, as the region has stood out as an attractive destination for international investment throughout the pandemic. A substantial recovery of FDI to Africa and to Latin America and the Caribbean is unlikely in the near term, however. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
