The number of foreign direct investment projects in Europe fell 4 percent in 2023 compared to the previous year, the first decline since the pandemic. Germany was hit particularly hard with a 12 percent drop in FDI projects, amid concern over its economic slowdown and energy security. France's tally fell by 5 percent but it still came out on top with the most projects. The UK bucked the regional trend with a 6 percent increase.
