One Belt and One Road to Enhance the Benefits of Foreign Investment
Recently, the reporter learned from the latest data released by the Ministry of Commerce that from January to July this year, Chinese investors conducted non-financial direct investment in 4088 overseas enterprises in 153 countries and regions around the world, with an accumulated investment of 432.92 billion yuan. The increase was 3.3%; in July, foreign direct investment was 68.06 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 25.5%. Under the background of international trade and investment protectionism rising and global foreign direct investment falling sharply, China's foreign investment has grown steadily and its ability to lay out global value chains has further improved. According to industry insiders, the data for the first seven months is conducive to enhancing investor confidence and expanding the foreign investment space of related companies. In the next stage, in the face of the rising trend of protectionism, Chinese enterprises may face certain difficulties in investing in high-end projects in developed countries, and investment along the “Belt and Road” will maintain steady growth.
Regarding the development trend of China's foreign investment in the second half of the year, relevant experts suggest that in the context of global trade and investment protectionism, China's enterprises will face certain challenges in investing in developed countries and regions in the future, but the government has reached an agreement with relevant economies through strengthening economic diplomacy. 17 free trade agreements are conducive to providing support for Chinese companies to invest abroad. At the same time, Chinese enterprises should also firmly grasp the major opportunities of the “Belt and Road” and maximize the value of foreign investment and social benefits in the process of promoting the “One Belt, One Road”.
