China Jan-Nov FDI falls 3.6pc on global headwinds

China’s foreign direct investment inflows fell 3.6 per cent in the first eleven months of 2012 from a year earlier, extending the longest run of year-on-year falls in three years as global economic headwinds crimped corporate spending plans.

The Commerce Ministry said on Tuesday that China drew US$100.0 billion in foreign direct investment between January and November, with November’s inflow alone down 5.4 per cent on year-ago levels at US$8.3 billion.
