    Published on January 18, 2011

    A UN report says that investment flows to developed nations have fallen while foreign direct investment to emerging economies increased.

    The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, the UN agency tasked with promoting global trade, said that there was a strong rebound in FDI to developing economies in Asia and Latin America.

    Developing and transition economies accounted for more than half of global flows. UNCTAD report said that Europe stood out as the region where flows fell the most sharply.

    Global inflows of FDI rose marginally by 1 per cent from 1,114 billion dollars in 2009 to almost 1,122 billion dollars in 2010.
