FDI Trends - Industry Transportation equipment remains the largest sector for FDI measured by the number of jobs, accounting for 18% of jobs created from foreign investment in 2013. Tourism has emerged as a key source for foreign investment in recent years and is maintaining its position as the second largest sector for foreign investment, while chemicals is third. The life sciences sector no longer features among the top 10 sectors for foreign investment, after a decline of 25% in jobs created globally. Natural resource dependent sectors, such as minerals, metals, agriculture and forestry all experienced significant declines, with falls of 30% , 20% and 35%, respectively.

Re-Shoring China has in recent years experienced a significant decline in inward production investment of 44 percent compared to 2010 levels, as increasing costs and questions about quality deterred companies from locating new or expanding facilities in the country. For production activities that are less labor intensive but are relatively more sensitive to transportation costs, such as many of the production activities in the transport equipment supply chains, the changing operating conditions in China, coupled with improvements in conditions closer to home markets, are resulting in some companies locating new production facilities near or within their key markets. Key beneficiaries of this development have been Mexico and various U.S. states for the North American market. Source: IBM, “Global Location Trends, 2014 Annual Report”

Top 3 Issues for Economic Development – International Affairs 1 Export Promotion Programs Despite exports being the bright spot of U.S. economic recovery, only 1% of small businesses are exporting, describing their greatest barrier as lack of information or understanding. State international trade agencies are on the front lines steering companies through the export promotion process, from identifying opportunity in foreign markets to assisting companies with export control compliance. Exporting companies create good jobs and boost state economies. Source: Council of State Governments, Jan 2015

FDI Benefits the U.S. Economy
#1 22% of U.S. Exports ~6 million U.S. jobs Average annual wage $78,927 R&D Investments The United States is the largest recipient of foreign direct investment in the world. In 2012, U.S. subsidiaries of foreign-owned firms accounted for over 22 percent of all U.S. goods exports. In 2012, subsidiaries employed 5.8 million U.S. workers. In 2011, subsidiaries contributed $455 billion in wages to U.S. employees In 2012, subsidiaries invested $47.0 billion in research and development in the United States The United States hosts the largest amount of FDI in the world. Currently, the total U.S. stock of FDI is $2.8 trillion. In 2014, the United States received $92 billion in FDI flows, according to preliminary estimates from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. U.S. subsidiaries of foreign-owned firms contribute significantly to the economy of the United States. In 2012, they supported: 5.77 million U.S. workers $455.5 billion in wages paid to employees $47.9 billion invested in research and development (R&D) $201.4 billion in property, plant and equipment expenditures Over 22 percent of all U.S. exports of goods Talking Points: FDI strengthens our economy: The United States is the largest recipient of FDI in the world. Nearly 15 percent of all goods exported from the United States are by U.S. operations of foreign-owned companies. As the U.S. government focuses on maintaining balanced trade and encouraging firms to export, it is important to encourage FDI as a means to increasing U.S. exports. When companies invest in the United States, they hire U.S. workers. Not only are 5.6 million people workers across the United States employed by U.S. subsidiaries of foreign-owned firms, they earn substantial wages: more than $77,000 per year on average. When companies operate in the United States, they are a part of its economy in the long term and invest in their physical and intellectual property. In 2011 alone, these firms owned $1.6 trillion in gross PP&E and invested $177 billion in improvements. They also spent more than $45 billion in R&D in 2011, alone. The economic impact of FDI goes far beyond capital and jobs. Companies investing in U.S. cities and communities are a part of their economic climate. They are a source of tax income, participate in the development of training programs and infrastructure, and are a valuable part of the value chain in their respective industries and business activities.

Global FDI Trends UPDATE Talking Points:
U.S. Share of Global FDI Inflows, 1980 – 2013 UPDATE Talking Points: While the United States is the largest recipient of FDI in the world, its share of global FDI has been on a consistent decline for several decades. There are several explanatory variables for this trend: First, the amount of cross-border investments happening today are exponentially higher than the 1980s. Today, the global stock of FDI stands at nearly $23 trillion. Second, more economies have opened their markets to international investments than ever before. As their economic regimes liberalize and they become players in the worldwide economy, they represent viable destinations for a company considering to invest beyond its borders. This means that the United States has competition. We are no longer the default choice a company seeking to ‘go global.’ In the 1980s, when a company was looking to invest globally, the United States was its destination of choice nearly half the time. This rate has declined to just about 12 percent today. As the United States has been the largest recipient of FDI in the world, we have not actively competed in global investment competitions. We are the only developed economy without a comprehensive national level investment promotion program. SelectUSA is the first U.S. federal government initiative to promote business investment in the United States, and to support U.S. states and regions as they compete to attract, retain, and grow business investment from across the world.

Do you have a relationship and understand their needs? Have you analyzed where investment and exports come from and go to? What assets are in place to attract and retain global companies? Have you mapped gaps in the supply chain? Where is there room for improvement in supporting FDI promotion, as well as BRE? What policies will correct deficiencies?
