Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what targets they have for increasing levels of foreign direct investment in the UK.

Increasing levels of foreign direct investment (FDI) into the UK is a priority for this government, given its critical role attracting capital into key growth sectors, creating jobs, and stimulating wider economic growth. The Department for Business and Trade works with all investor-facing business units to deliver support for the highest-value, highest-impact FDI projects into the UK.

Internally, the Department uses a wide suite of metrics, reflecting government priorities and investment impact, to ensure the delivery of our services is aligned to desired outcomes and ambitions.
