20 DFAIT’s results: key conclusions
It was a successful year for DFAIT facilitated investments, following the global economic downturn Final results for FY indicate 145 DFAIT facilitated greenfield and expansions investment projects - an increase of 38% from the previous fiscal year. The investment projects had a value of $7.1 billion (52% of companies reporting), compared to $1.1 billion in the previous fiscal year – an increase of $6.0 billion. One of those projects included a German company, K+S AG, which invested $2.5 billion in Saskatoon, SK. These projects created an estimated 4,252 jobs (61% of companies reporting), compared to 3,082 jobs the previous year – an increase of 1,170 jobs.

21 FDI Outlook According to the UNCTAD World Investment Report 2011:
Global FDI inflows rose a modest 4.9% to US $1.2 trillion in 2010, following a 32.1% decrease in However, FDI flows in 2010 were still 37% below their peak 2007 level of nearly US$ 2 trillion. Looking forward - under an optimistic scenario - global FDI inflows are projected to rise to $1.5 trillion in 2011, $1.7 trillion in 2012 and $1.9 trillion in 2013. Under the - increasingly probable - pessimistic scenario, global FDI inflows are projected to stagnate at around $1.2 trillion. As indicated by FDI intelligence, FDI projects globally in 2010 increased by 2% and fell by 16% in terms of the number and value of investments, respectively. For the first half of 2011, greenfield/expansion projects were the same as the first half of last year, suggesting stagnating growth. The economic outlook for Canada appears good, and bodes well for FDI: The Economist Intelligence Unit continues to rank Canada as the best place to do business in the G7 over the next five years ( ) According to the IMF, Canada, along with Germany, are projected to have the fastest growth in the G7 in 2011 and 2012.
