Despite uncertainties for 2014,
almost half (48 per cent) of respondents from developed countries and
56 per cent of those from developing countries forecast an increase in
their FDI expenditures over 2013 levels. Developed country investors’
forecasts of their foreign expenditures are quite stable over the short
term with only minimal changes in the share of those who would reduce
their investment levels in the medium term, while there is an increase of
investments of firms based in developing countries for the year 2016.
