In 2025, China saw a small net outflow of $12.5 billion in various investments coming into the country. Among them, direct investment in China by equity nature increased by 20% compared to the previous year, mainly due to the growth in investment returns of foreign capital in China and more reinvestment of retained profits. China remains an important destination for global multinational companies to expand their overseas investment layout. Foreign investment in domestic stocks resumed a net inflow, while investment in domestic bonds showed a net outflow. Foreign net outflow under other investment items slowed significantly.
