Multinational corporations from Latin America, South Asia, East Asia and Southeast Asia are the main force to promote the rapid growth of global foreign investment. In 2010, foreign investment in developing countries and economies in transition reached 377 billion US dollars, an increase of 23%. Development neutralization Transitional economies It is not only the main absorbing country of foreign direct investment, but also a more important foreign investment country. Its share of global external investment increased from 15% in 2007 to 28% in the year before the crisis.

"Because of the unsustainable levels of government debt in many countries, public investment is losing momentum, and sustained economic recovery will be more dependent on private investment growth." Xiao Ning, director of investment and enterprise division of the United Nations Trade and development organization, said: "a profitable situation is that multinational corporations have large amounts of cash. A bad thing is that they still seem to be reluctant to cash in. MNCs have not yet fully recovered their role as an engine of global investment growth. "

These include the developed countries' sovereign debt crisis and fiscal tightening policies; instability in some areas; soaring energy prices and Inflation risk The sharp fluctuation of exchange rate and trade.
