Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in Africa decreased sharply from 2021 to 2022. According to the source, the drop was largely due to an intrafirm financial deal in South Africa, without which the continent would have registered an increase in FDI inflow. The decline in Southern Africa reached 80 percent in 2022.
