World Investment Report 2020: International Production Beyond the Pandemic

United Nations Conference on Trade and Development

No 30, World Investment Report from United Nations Conference on Trade and Development

Abstract: The 2020 Report examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on foreign direct investment (FDI), international production networks and sustainable development prospects. It analyses the sharp contraction in global investment flows, assesses regional and sectoral trends and evaluates the implications for developing economies. Particular attention is given to the vulnerability of export-oriented and commodity-dependent investment activities and to the changing organization of international production. The Report explores how technological change, supply-chain restructuring, economic nationalism and sustainability considerations may shape the future of global investment. It also reviews investment trends related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and evaluates progress in mobilizing private-sector resources for development. The analysis highlights policy options for strengthening resilience, promoting sustainable investment and supporting economic recovery in an evolving international production landscape.
