SUMMARY
The year 2022 in Europe is marked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, rising energy costs and an unprecedented number of sanctions against Moscow. Against a backdrop of the end of low rates and general anxiety, fDi Markets' data paints a resilient picture. The number of foreign direct investment (FDI) projects, at 6,305 announced, is down slightly on 2021, but up on the 10-year average (+5%). Analysts also note a trend towards the emergence of "mega-projects".
As in previous years, the report ranks the most attractive cities and regions by size (large, medium and small), and provides a brief overview.
Keywords: attractiveness, attract, invest, benchmark, Europe.
