Videoconference on the report on global investment flows from UN experts
The UN gave explanations on the world investment report to the heads of 40 investment agencies of the world from among the members of the World Association at a closed online seminar.
UNCTAD Director James Jean said that the fall in foreign investment in the world has returned the industry 15 years ago, and that growth and return to 2019 values can only be expected in 2022. At the same time, he clarified that today more than 40 trillion dollars of investments are “sleeping” in the world economy, and this is half of the total GDP of the world.
The head of the Investment Development Agency, Taliya Minullina, represented the only region from Russia at the event.
“Mr. Jean outlined many new challenges and shifts that are taking place in the investment field. One of them is the shift from mass production to customized products. This is 100% in line with our strategy, as exemplified by the Haier Smart Factory. Its construction began a month ago in Naberezhnye Chelny, ”said the head of the AIR RT.
