ABUJA, January 30 (Ooduarere) — China passed the United States to turn into the world’s leader in foreign direct investment (FDI) volume in 2014, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) report indicated.

China’s FDI volume increased by three percent in 2014 to $128 billion, while the United States dropped to $86 billion, a fall of practically a third since 2013. The decline of US FDI volume is expected, to a limited extent, to impart buybacks from UK Vodafone by the US information transfers organization Verizon, the report recommended.

China’s economy has posted yearly GDP development arriving at 7.7 percent in 2010-2014, as per the World Bank.

Universally, FDI volume dropped eight percent in 2014 to $1.26 trillion. This drop is said to be an aftereffect of general monetary instability and geopolitical dangers connected with local clashes, as per the report.

FDI in the European Union rose 13 percent while Russia, as an aftereffect of poor financial standpoint, dropped to $19 billion, a 70 percent decrease, UNCTAD said.

UNCTAD is an United Nations organization exploring worldwide economy and advancing dialog between nations on economy and improvement issues. UNCTAD as of now has 194 member state
