EU Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows have been severely affected by the global economic and financial crisis. They hit a record peak in 2007, but dropped sharply in 2008, in both inward and outward FDI flows (down 34% for outflows, 52% for inflows). While incoming FDI flows recovered slightly in 2009, EU investments abroad continued to decline (by 24 %).
