Note

According to the World Bank, Africa only attracted 1 percent of global FDI inflows in 2000.

By 2018, these figures had grown to about 3 percent by 2018. Our 5 percent figure is an average

from the twenty years between 2000 and 2019. During the COVID-19 pandemic, UNCTAD forecast

that FDI flows to the continent would contract between 25 percent and 40 percent based on

various investment determinants, including GDP growth projections.

 

Africa's Top Five sources of FDI in 2020 were: Netherlands, France,

the United Kingdom, the United States, and China.
