On June 19 local time, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development released the (2025 World Investment Report) showing that in 2024, global foreign direct investment (FDI) increased slightly by 4%, reaching $1.5 trillion, but after excluding fluctuations in European financial transactions, it actually declined by 11%, marking two consecutive years of double-digit decline. International project financing dropped by 26%, while digital investment grew by 14%. Cross-border merger and acquisition transaction volume grew by 14%, reaching $443 billion, but still below the average level of the past decade. The report states that the international investment outlook for 2025 is not optimistic. Trade tensions have led to a downward adjustment of most FDI outlook indicators. Early data for the first quarter of 2025 shows that transaction and project activity has hit a historic low.#usdc $BTC
