According to our 2011 Global Investment Atlas, global investment rose 42% in 2010 to US$564 bn (€430 bn), the 3rd highest total of the past 10 years. The recovery gathered pace in H2 2010 despite the more hesitant economic mood of that time, possibly reflecting the fact that liquidity and income are still more important drivers of demand than growth.
This latest report suggests that investment is forecast to rise just 5-10% this year, hitting US$606 bn (€485 bn), led by North America, with China slowing as policy is tightened.
