A just-released report of the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), issued jointly with the AfCFTA Secretariat, SOAS - University of London, and SITA (Supporting Investment and Trade in Africa), provides a comprehensive analysis of the status of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Africa, by comparing the different trends by investors both inside and outside the continent. The main findings of the report are that despite Africa has experienced significant FDI growth since 1990, with inflows reaching $79.6 billion in 2021, Africa's share of global FDI remains relatively small. However, there is also a good news.
