The Midlands delivered a strong performance for foreign direct investment (FDI) projects last year, according to newly published research out today.
The 2022 Attractiveness Survey, produced by financial services firm EY, said both the West and East Midlands saw their number of FDI-backed projects growing at a faster rate than the rest of the UK.
The West Midlands hosted 78 FDI projects in 2021, up 27.9 per cent from the 61 projects located in the region in 2020.
