Several key trends are highlighted in the analysis of Chinese direct foreign investments (FDI) in this region, particularly concerning economic sectors.
The authors of the study emphasize that there is a noticeable increase in Chinese investments in the manufacturing industry, which has risen by 9 percentage points to 22%, as well as in the energy sector, where the growth amounted to 8 percentage points, reaching 12%.
The manufacturing industry has become an important area for investments, as China's accumulated FDI in this sector increased from $5 billion to $14.5 billion, raising its share from 13% to 22%.
"The main growth has been observed since 2019, which is associated with the implementation of large projects in sectors such as metallurgy, chemistry, machine engineering, and raw material processing," the report notes.
The structure of Chinese FDI in the countries of the Eurasian region demonstrates a gradual shift from the predominance of raw material sectors to a more diversified investment portfolio.
