In today’s match of the day in the FDI World Cup, co-hosts Canada play Bosnia and Herzegovina. 2,239 projects versus 88 but there’s almost nothing in it when it comes to FDI growth rate (2021-2025). Who will have the edge on the pitch when the teams meet in Toronto later today? #WorldCup #Canada #BosniaHerzegovina
The football (soccer) World Cup starts today in Canada, Mexico and the US. To celebrate we’ve crunched the foreign direct investment numbers to see how the countries match up. Welcome to The FDI World Cup. The opening match sees Mexico take on South Africa. Here’s how they fare: Mexico ranks higher both in FIFA and in FDI rankings, with the FDI score based on the number of inbound greenfield investment projects a country attracts. Mexico has 2,172 projects compared with South Africa’s 727 (2021-2025). Mexico also records more projects per million people than South Africa, highlighting its stronger investment intensity. South Africa, however, edges ahead on FDI growth, making this a closer contest. #WorldCup #MexSA

Are climate ambitions colliding with investment reality? For years, renewable energy has dominated greenfield investment. But in 2026 fossil-fuel FDI surged back, driven by geopolitical tensions, energy security concerns and major policy shifts in the US. The result? A growing gap between climate ambitions and investment decisions. In our latest blog, Thomas Cowderoy examines why investors are returning to coal, oil and gas projects, what this means for the pace of the energy transition, and how locations can position themselves in an increasingly complex energy landscape. Read the full blog: ftlocations.com/knowledge-hub/…
The cost of underinvesting in training More than half of economic development organisations and investment promotion agencies say limited time, staffing or budgets make it difficult to measure performance effectively. Without the right skills, proving impact, evaluating strategy and making informed decisions becomes more challenging. As competition for investment intensifies, capacity building is becoming a competitive advantage. Read our latest blog to learn why training is now critical to winning investment: ftlocations.com/knowledge-hub/…
How are businesses adapting their international growth strategies? Geopolitical uncertainty, shifting trade relationships and increasing regulatory demands are forcing companies to rethink how and where they expand. As organisations balance growth ambitions with rising complexity, international expansion strategies are evolving. Join FT Locations and TMF Group on 24 June for a live webinar featuring Jonathan Wildsmith, Consultant at fDi Strategies, alongside Maja Mandela, Mark Rosson and Aynsley Vaughan from TMF Group. The discussion will explore the factors shaping international growth, from location strategy and market entry models to the role of governance and local expertise.

The US is expected to outperform its G7 peers in 2026 Despite rising trade tensions and geopolitical uncertainty, the US economy is forecast to grow by around 2.3% in 2026. While this is slightly below its 10-year average growth rate of 2.43%, the slowdown is less pronounced than in many other G7 economies. As a result, the US is expected to remain closer to its long-term growth trend than that of its peers, underlining the relative resilience of the world’s largest economy.

How Spain became a magnet for Chinese investment A recent Financial Times article by Henry Foy, uses fDi Markets data to show the sharp rise in Chinese FDI projects and pledged capital investment in Spain over the past decade. The data highlights Spain’s growing role as a gateway for Chinese companies expanding across Europe, particularly through greenfield investment and manufacturing projects aimed at strengthening regional market access. fDi Markets remains one of the most comprehensive real-time sources for tracking global greenfield investment, helping organisations understand where capital is flowing, which sectors are gaining momentum and how investment patterns are evolving.
