Britain is still the top European destination for inward investment

The UK continues to outstrip all other EU nations as the top investment destination in Europe, which is crucial for creating jobs, putting more money into our communities and enhancing prosperity across the country.

Key facts
  • New data from the OECD shows more than £1,400 billion of investment stock flowed into the UK from abroad during 2018 – the highest level in Europe, and the third highest in the world, behind the USA and China. 
  • Total inward investment in the UK was more than Germany, Spain and Poland combined.
  • International investors continue to recognise the fundamental strengths of our economy – the UK has great companies, great talent, great tech and great investment potential. 
  • This comes as new ONS data released yesterday shows that the employment rate is at its highest in 50 years. 

Why this matters

The Conservatives' balanced approach to the economy attracts investors from around the world, showing yet again that Britain is open for business.
