Investment flows into EU surge by 487%

Investment flows from China to the European Union surged 487 percent in the first four months of this year, with the 28-member market keen to offer reciprocal access to Chinese investors, the Ministry of Commerce said on Friday.

The ministry only provided a growth figure for the EU but did not give any specific figures.

Total global outbound direct investment by Chinese enterprises reached $34.97 billion between January and April, up 36.1 percent on a year-on-year basis, data released by the ministry showed.
