SUMMARY:FFD4 press briefing: Presentation of the World Investment Report 20
 25 - international investment in the digital economy
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:The World Investment Report 2025 by UN Trade and Development (U
 NCTAD) reveals sharp declines in private capital flows amid rising debt an
 d shrinking aid.Foreign direct investment to developing countries declined
  for the second year in a row\, even as financing needs hit record highs. 
 According to the World Investment Report 2025\, international project fina
 nce has dropped more than 40% since 2021 - with least developed countries 
 among the hardest hit.A special UN briefing will explore the implications 
 of these trends. As public debt surges\, aid stagnates\, and systemic unce
 rtainty persists\, the role of private capital in sustainable development 
 finance is under growing scrutiny.The event will examine what the data mea
 ns for countries on the ground - and how global financing rules must adapt
  in a fragmented and financially constrained world.Speakers:Rebeca Grynspa
