World Trade Center - Los Angeles: FDI Report Release

2020 was an unprecedented year for the international economy.

The COVID-19 pandemic upended all aspects of life and dramatically reduced trade and investment flows across the world, while public health orders and business restrictions forced the closure of countless establishments and sent unemployment rates skyrocketing in the United States. Foreign direct investments (FDI) have the potential to expediate the economic recovery and increase growth in key industries.

The report on foreign direct investment in California, presented by the World Trade Center Los Angeles (WTCLA) and Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC), represents the sixth edition of our annual outlook. In keeping with our previous edition, we estimate FDI across the entirety of California’s regions alongside our focus on Los Angeles County.
