A pleasure and privilege to interview North Carolina's governor Roy Cooper back at SelectUSA's summit. The democrat's key messages include: 🔴 The US democracy and economic foundation is strong. "Donald #Trump would be a disaster for our country, but I think we can survive him." 🔵 Bipartisanship happens when policies benefit all — as shown by the Republican-controlled state legislature approving his green subsidies. ⚪ #NorthCarolina's focus on second-chance employment isn't just "the right thing to do" but helps the tight labour market.

When China, the world’s biggest #graphite producer, launched export restrictions on the mineral last December, Graphjet Technology (NASDAQ:GTI) accelerated plans to take its biomass-to-artificial graphite technology into the US. ♻ Graphite is a missing piece of the US’s #EV battery supply chain. ♻ With Chinese imports no longer an option, Malaysia's #Graphjet is positioning itself its upcoming #Nevada plant as part of the US's solution. Its CEO Aiden Lee shared the firm's story with Danielle Myles. #FDI #foreigndirectinvestment #Malaysia #biomass #renewables https://lnkd.in/eKYBeu9u

Has Mexico become China’s new gateway to the US? Samuel M. dives into a story that’s quickly becoming a political flashpoint. 🟣 In 2023, Mexico saw record FDI and imports from China. 🟣 In the same year, it replaced China as the world's biggest exporter to the US. 👉 As trade and investment ties between Mexico and China deepen, there’s a growing perception that Mexico has become a backdoor for Chinese companies to enter the US market. With US elections approaching and a potential review of the USMCA on the horizon, this dynamic could soon face significant changes. #FDI https://lnkd.in/eNGMtGt4
China's soaring FDI into Mexico comes under scrutiny

🇺🇸 Prevailing wisdom is that foreign investment in US manufacturing is booming. Official data paints a different picture ↓ 👉 https://on.ft.com/3Xk9TLQ 💰 Multi-billion dollar capital pledges to build factories have dominated headlines in recent years. Our fDi Markets data shows that 2022 and 2023 were the two highest years on record for manufacturing FDI announcements. 📉 But official data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis shows a gap between this hype and reality. New FDI expenditure in US manufacturing in 2023 hit its lowest level over the last decade of comparable data (see article for specific data). 💭 While subject to revision, these BEA figures are based on capex plans, as opposed to initial investment intentions. As such, they provide a reality check for the wave of FDI announcements triggered by the likes of the Inflation Reduction Act and Chips and Science Act, which collectively offered more than $400bn in tax credits, loans and grants for companies investing in US cleantech and semiconductor supply chains. 💡 Advisors to foreign companies in the US argue this void reflects hard facts facing companies who made huge FDI announcements in search of federal subsidies announced by the Biden Administration. 💬 “The clock was ticking so everyone and their brother was out trying to secure that money, whether they had a solid plan or not,” says Didi Caldwell, CEO of Global Location Strategies and fDi’s Americas columnist. “The money is still available, but the enthusiasm to chase it has waned because companies are realising they still have to have a solid business model.” 🔢 Other indicators for real private fixed investment and construction spending show there is record capital being put to work in the US manufacturing. But the drop in new FDI seems to suggest most of this is coming from domestic companies. ❓ What do you think ❓Are the Biden administration's claims of a resurgence in US manufacturing overstated ❓ 💬 Let me know in the comments below 💬 Thanks also to Jonathan Samford of Global Business Alliance, James Renzas of BCI Global and J. Philip Ludvigson of King & Spalding for sharing their thoughts with me too. #fdi #data #manufacturing #us #inflationreductionact #chipsact

Is America's heartland up for grabs? 🟣 Foreign holdings of US agricultural land rose by 50% from 2017 to 2022. 🟣 Renewable energy companies, mostly from Europe, are behind this surge. 👉 Foreign holdings of US farmland have become a political flashpoint, with half of the 50 states passing laws restricting foreign ownership of private land. However, they still make up only a fraction of the country’s agricultural land. Full story by John Egan at the link below 👇 #FDI https://lnkd.in/eaCkuszs

Uzbekistan has come a long way since the strict isolationism imposed by long-time autocratic leader Islam Karimov, as Hassan Jivraj reports in the story below. Following Mr Karimov’s passing in 2016, his successor, president Shavkat Mirziyoyev, embarked on a reform agenda to open up the economy to foreign trade and investment. 🟣FDI inflows to Uzbekistan reached over $2.5bn in 2023, increasing by 86% since 2016. 🟣Key projects include the $2.4bn Karakalpakstan wind project and a new EV manufacturing plant by Chinese BYD. ⏺️ The #FDI angle: Uzbekistan’s reform-driven growth and young population present substantial opportunities for foreign investors, despite ongoing challenges in economic and political reforms. Read it all at the link below https://lnkd.in/eb7ZEiqj
