One is the slow recovery of the world economy and weak global cross-border investment. According to the 2023 World Investment Report of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, global foreign direct investment decreased by 12% in 2022 and still faces significant downward pressure in 2023. According to a report released by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in July, it is estimated that global foreign investment will decrease by 25% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2023.
Secondly, the base for the same period in 2022 is relatively large. In the three years from 2020 to 2022, China overcame the overall downturn in global cross-border investment, the COVID-19 and other adverse effects, constantly increased efforts in foreign investment, and achieved sustained and stable growth in foreign investment. In 2022, the scale of foreign investment attracted by China has exceeded 1.2 trillion yuan, reaching a new historical high with an average growth rate of 8.6% over the past three years. In the first eight months of 2022, the actual amount of foreign investment used was also the highest in history during the same period.
Foreign investment is a normal market behavior with periodic fluctuations
