Foreign direct investment (FDI) was hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, with investments falling by over 40 percent. However, investment bounced back quickly in 2021, increasing by over 50 percent, before decreasing again in 2022 and 2023 amid worsening global economic circumstances. Moreover, without massive changes in some smaller European economies, FDI inflows in 2023 fell by around 10 percent.
