According to an International Monetary Fund analysis, the US has attracted nearly one-third of global investment flows since the onset of the Covid pandemic, surpassing its pre-pandemic average share of 18%. Factors contributing to this include rising US interest rates, fresh foreign direct investment from President Biden's initiatives, and a shift away from emerging markets like China. However, future US advantages may be impacted by potential policy changes from the Federal Reserve and upcoming elections. On the other hand, China is working to entice foreign investors and revive interest, while experiencing a slowdown in overseas investment into the country. Overall, the trend implies a significant shift in global capital flows, with implications on international economies and investments.
