The Department for International Trade (DIT) is leading on Government\u2019s shared intent to safeguard the UK\u2019s position as a world-leading destination for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).<\/p>

<\/p>

The UK continues to have many strengths that attract investors: an open, liberal economy, world-class talent and a business-friendly environment. The most recent data from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) ranked the UK as third globally for FDI in 2018\u2014and the number one destination in Europe, ahead of Germany.<\/p>

<\/p>

DIT is supporting investment into UK communities by targeting promotional support towards projects with the greatest potential to maximise national wealth and value for investors. We also remain committed to ensuring that the UK continues to be a competitive destination for foreign investment\u2014and are working with Government colleagues to develop policies to improve the UK business environment and ensure the UK continues to be one of the most attractive places in which to work and invest.<\/p>
