🗞 JUST OUT Our latest report finds that although Czechia has attracted significant foreign direct investment (FDI), there is more potential to harness its benefits for local economies. There is a particular need to improve the internationalisation of Czech small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which still lag behind larger firms in terms of accessing the knowledge, technologies and skills needed to collaborate with foreign multinationals. These SMEs can benefit from the spillover effects of hashtag #FDI. Policy coordination will be required across different institutions involved in investment promotion, SME development, innovation, and regional development, as detailed further in the report’s recommendations.

For four consecutive years, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Portugal has been on a steady rise! In 2023 alone, FDI soared by 6.2%, surpassing a staggering €180 billion, equivalent to 68% of the GDP, as revealed by recent data released by the Bank of Portugal. The FDI has more than doubled between late 2008 and late 2023. It's noteworthy that in 2023, FDI transactions totaled €6.8 billion, with €3.9 billion attributed to real estate investment. The inflow of foreign investment primarily emanated from European operators. Among the regions basking in the influx of foreign capital, Greater Lisbon stands out prominently. This trend isn't confined to 2023 alone but has been consistently witnessed over the past seven years, with the Lisbon Metropolitan Area capturing, on average, 53.5% of the country's annual FDI stock during this period. By the end of last year, 55% of the FDI stock was allocated within the Greater Lisbon region. However, the Alentejo and the Centro regions have experienced the most substantial growth in foreign investment over the past seven years. During this period, investment in these areas surged annually by an average of 10.15% and 10.95%, respectively, more than double the national average. According to data from the Bank of Portugal, while approximately 12.8% of the national FDI volume was allocated to the Madeira region in 2017 (ranking it as the third region with the highest share after Greater Lisbon and the North), by the end of 2023, this percentage dwindled to a mere 4.8%, being surpassed by the Algarve and the Centro regions. Portugal's allure for foreign investors continues to shine bright, with regions like Greater Lisbon, Alentejo, and Centro leading the charge towards economic prosperity. Eres Relocation Portugal can assist you with navigating the vibrant investment landscape and facilitate your journey towards seizing opportunities in Portugal. Stay tuned for more updates on Portugal's thriving investment landscape! #FDI #ForeignDirectInvestment #Alentejo #Lisboa #Portugal #Investment #immigration #expats #relocation #eresrelocationportugal
