Flood of FDI

Emphasis on consumption, the B&R Initiative and trade deals lead to rise in foreign investments and opportunities in emerging areas

The October-December quarter will likely see robust year-on-year growth in FDI. In the January-November period, FDI in China rose 9.8 percent year-on-year to reach 803.62 billion yuan ( $122 billion).
