The WIPS report, which surveys multinational companies and investment promotion agencies, showed a promising outlook for all of the major emerging markets, in fact, placing Brazil, Russia, India and China in the top five spots along with the United States. It was noted that this is the first time all four BRIC countries are ranked among the top five destinations for foreign investment. Among the top findings from the WIPS report: Respondent companies’ and investment promotion agencies’ opinions on the investment environment have become more optimistic since last year’s WIPS. While respondents remain cautious as regards the prospects in the short term (2010), this optimism increases for the medium-term. UNCTAD estimates the global level of FDI inflows in 2011 will fall in the range of $1.3–1.5 trillion, rising in 2012 to between $1.6 and 2 trillion. In the short-term the crisis appears to have negatively impacted companies’ investment plans regardless of home economy. However, developing-country multinational corporations are more optimistic in the short-term about the global business environment and their investment prospects than their developed-country counterparts. As was reported by a Vedomosti piece on the survey, this is the second time this year that Russia has landed in the top five in an FDI ranking: Ernst & Young positioned Russia as the fifth most attractive destination for FDI in Europe for 2009 in its 9th Annual European Attractiveness Survey released this past June. About the World Investment Prospects Survey Against the backdrop of the global economic recovery, WIPS is designed to provide insight on future trends and patterns in FDI by the largest multinational corporations over the next three years. Rather than offering a quantitative projection, the report assesses responses gathered from surveys and interviews conducted with 236 of the largest non-financial multinationals regarding their internationalisation strategies. In addition, surveys and direct interviews were conducted with various location experts, including consultants, academics, and representatives from 116 national investment promotion agencies (IPAs). The ranking described above is based on the number of times that the country is mentioned as a top priority for FDI by respondent companies. The WIPS report is published under UNCTAD’s Division on Investment and Enterprise (DIAE), whose overarching mission is to promote understanding of key issues related to foreign direct investment and technology transfer. The survey was released ahead of the UNCTAD World Investment Forum, which is taking place in Xiamen, China from September 6-9, 2010.
