This chapter contextualizes the year under review by reflecting on three important narrative and statistical trends. The first section provides a brief descriptive overview of statistical trends in FDI in 2020. The second section addresses macroeconomic trends and FDI flows, and considers the extent to which we can expect FDI flows to follow the dynamics of recovery seen after previous economic downturns. The third section considers the extent to which the pandemic has had a lasting effect on the structure of global value chains (GVC). The fourth section considers how the securitization of investment policy could affect patterns of FDI flows post-pandemic.
