World Investment Report 2021 FDI Outflows U.S.

The World Investment Report 2021 came out. You can look at the World Investment Report 2021. For more details on Foreign Direct Investment you may want to see FDI Global 2021

What I find interesting is that the FDI for mature economies like the U.S. and Europe experienced significant decline in investment. It might have something to do with declining profits and doubling up on existing strategies. 

The U.S. is investing in infrastructure which is great because it can lead, with better policies, to improved economic inflow. 

Countries will be making a choice about values as a new cold war risk rises (some trends indicate it has started across multiple fronts with supply line and investment adjustments but its not enough to say with certainty) between authoritarianism and freedom oriented national models (This is where political choices may begin to count again. So we might want to pick leaders/politicians based on ability versus their "connections" as well as those who can compromise and solve problems.). See Authoritarians 

I think we can get back some of the investments and intellectual capital by using more tech clusters and a calibrated tax system. See G7 Tax Floor and Calibrate Option
