The global stock of FDI jumped more than tenfold between 1980 and 2002 to $7,100bn, as transnational companies spread their production and distribution systems around the world.
The figures showed China rapidly catching up with the US as the world's most popular location for foreign investment. The US tops the league table of overseas investment destinations with a stock of FDI of $1,351bn. But the stock in China totalled $448bn, up from just $25bn in 1990. Combined with Hong Kong's stock of FDI of $433bn, greater China takes the number two spot.
A combination of cheap labour, robust domestic growth and market deregulation helped China attracted a record $52.7bn in FDI last year - more than any other country. By contrast, net FDI inflows into the US have stagnated in recent years. Last year there was a net outflow of $98bn.
Alan Ruskin, director of research at 4Cast, the economic consultancy, said the figures revealed the extent of China's dependence on overseas capital to expand production.
"China has been widely blamed in developed countries for flooding the industrialised world with cheap goods," he said. "But western investment is largely making this rise in productive capacity possible."
FDI flows have fallen sharply in the past two years and appear to be set for a further decline in 2003. But stock changes take place far more slowly.
The figures also underlined the growing importance of overseas investment in developing countries. FDI stocks in developing countries represented about a third of their gross domestic product in 2002, compared with just 13 per cent in 1980. For industrialised countries, which host two-thirds of the world's inward FDI, stocks of foreign investment now account for a fifth of GDP (news - web sites) on average from just 5 per cent in 1980.
Brazil has been the largest recipient of FDI capital in the developing world aside from China, with its stock of FDI jumping from $37bn to $236bn. Mexico, which has benefited from strong investment inflows from the US, ranked 13th in the global league table. Its accumulated FDI totalled $154bn last year, up from $22bn in 1990.
Meanwhile, inflows into Eastern Europe since the fall of communism have been relatively unspectacular. Eastern European countries increased their stock of FDI from $3bn in 1990 to $188bn in 2002. But this was only slightly larger than the accumulated investment in Ireland.
Not a single Eastern European country was in the top 20 investment locations, with Poland the highest ranking at 27.
The figures show that foreign investment remains very unequally distributed, with the top 10 hosts accounting for two-thirds of total inward FDI stocks. The 49 poorest countries accounted for just 2 per cent of the inward FDI stock in 2002, a share that has changed little in recent years.
