Market Outlook
2026 FDI outlook: why Sub-Saharan Africa leads global expansion intent
According to Bloomberg's Global FDI Outlook 2025, 76% of global investors still plan international expansion despite rising geopolitical risks — and Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and MENA show the strongest expansion intent worldwide, with 84–90% of investors planning growth in these regions. Kearney's FDI Confidence Index describes a "world at inflection," where investors balance risk against opportunity in innovation and emerging markets. We believe that inflection favors those who can structure the risk.
