<p>Two major FDI publication have recently been published, reflecting on European
investment performance in 2019. The Financial Times’ FDI Report 2020 placed the UK
top in Europe, with 1,271 recorded FDI projects – more than Germany and France combined
(702 and 500 respectively). This gave the UK an overall market share of 20% in Europe.</p><p>
</p><p>The EY UK Attractiveness Survey 2020 shows a different picture with the UK
receiving fewer projects than France (1,109 to 1,197), therefore conceding the top
spot in Europe. Despite the EY report recording an increase for the UK’s FDI project
numbers, France saw a greater increase (5% compared to 16%).</p><p> </p><p>According
to UNCTAD’s WIR 2020, the UK remains the top destination in Europe for attracting
foreign direct investment with the highest inward FDI stock in Europe, and has improved
its position to being the second highest inward FDI stock in the world, behind the
US. The UK’s FDI stock of $ 2 trillion has risen by 10% compared to 2018 and almost
doubled from its 2010 levels.</p><p> </p>
