Foreign Direct Investment by Country (Current US$)
Foreign direct investment (FDI) net inflows measure the value of direct investment that foreign investors make in a country's economy, net of divestment, in a given year, expressed in current US dollars. It includes equity capital, reinvested earnings, and other capital flows from foreign investors, minus reverse investment and divestments. A positive value means a country receives more foreign direct investment than it sends abroad, while a negative value indicates net outflows. The dataset covers 197 countries and territories with values from 2020 to 2025 and shows how FDI destinations have shifted across the world economy.

Methodology
The statistics are based on the World Bank World Development Indicators dataset, indicator BX.KLT.DINV.CD.WD (Foreign direct investment, net inflows, BoP, current US$). The main comparison uses 2025 data where available, covering 97 of the 197 countries and territories in our dataset. For countries without a 2025 observation, the latest available year is noted where relevant, but earlier years are not substituted for missing 2025 values in the ranking. Negative values indicate net outflows of foreign direct investment. Values are expressed in current US dollars and are not adjusted for inflation. Missing observations are treated as missing, not as zero.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which country attracts the most foreign direct investment?
The United States recorded the largest net FDI inflows in 2025 at 400.5 billion US dollars, followed by Singapore (159.1 billion) and Germany (95.2 billion).
How many countries are included in the dataset?
Our dataset includes 197 countries and territories. Of these, 97 have data available for 2025. Countries without a 2025 observation are not included in the 2025 ranking.
What does net FDI inflow measure?
It measures the net value of direct investment that foreign investors make in a country, including equity capital, reinvested earnings, and other capital, minus divestments. Negative values indicate net outflows.
Why do some major economies not appear in the 2025 ranking?
Hong Kong and Ireland do not have 2025 figures in this dataset. Their latest available observations are from 2024, and earlier years are not substituted for missing 2025 values in the ranking.
Are the figures adjusted for inflation?
No. The values are expressed in current US dollars, meaning they are not adjusted for inflation. Changes over time can therefore reflect changes in volumes as well as changes in prices and exchange rates.
