About This Dataset
Countries That Attract the Most Foreign Investment 2024Hong Kong (125.8), British Virgin Islands (53.6) and United Arab Emirates (45.6) take the top three. Across the twenty shown, values run from 125.8 down to 3.1, a spread of 122.7. Most of that spread sits between first and second alone (72.2 of 122.7), so Hong Kong stands apart from the rest of the table. No other country in the table reaches half the leading figure of 125.8. The chart shows the twenty highest of 98 reporting countries, so it describes the top of the distribution rather than the world average.
