Episode 13 Turning the Tide: How to Revive Global Investment in a Fragmented World
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is drying up, and the implications are global. This episode unpacks the World Bank’s report Foreign Direct Investment in Retreat: Policies to Turn the Tide, revealing why capital flows to developing countries have fallen to half their 2008 peak. We explore how trade openness, stronger institutions, and human capital can turn every investment dollar into growth—and why treaties, trust, and stability now matter more than ever. As old tools fade and new risks rise, learn how countries can rebuild confidence, attract smarter capital, and reignite development.Generated with AI using wondercraft.ai and guided by our experts.
