U.S. tops confidence survey on foreign investment, displaces China
By Daniel Bases and Manuela Badawy
After a 12-year hiatus, the United States reclaimed first place among top
executives in a survey on foreign direct investment sentiment, displacing
China as it makes progress toward sustainable and steady economic growth, a
study showed on Wednesday.
The United States jumped from fourth place in 2012, according to the 2013
Foreign Direct Investment Confidence Index, a survey of more than 300
executives from 28 countries by global consulting firm A.T. Kearney.
The survey, conducted between October and November of last year, highlighted
executives' views that U.S. workers are becoming more competitive and,
until recently, the weakness in the U.S. dollar helped improve the country's
exports profile.
Combined with a recovering housing market and the surge in production of
unconventional oil and gas, the United States took back the top spot for the
first time since 2001 despite still serious fiscal policy uncertainty and
sizeable debt issues.
More than half the respondents believe the global economy will recover from
the financial crisis and recessions in 2014 (26 percent) and 2015 (28
percent). That is a shift in sentiment from 2010 when 42 percent believed
the recovery would occur in just one year.
"Investors are demonstrating more mature judgment about what the risks are
and what the expected returns will be and how long it will take the global
economy to recover," Paul Laudicina, chairman emeritus of A.T. Kearney, told
Reuters in a telephone interview.
The FDI Confidence Index ranks countries on how political, economic and
regulatory changes will affect foreign direct investment.
The United States is the top recipient of FDI inflows for a sixth
consecutive year, according to the survey.
Respondents were most optimistic about the United States' prospects, with 63
percent expecting some economic growth, compared with 62 percent who
believe Europe may have no growth or return to recession over the next three
years.
The survey found that roughly 90 percent of investors report the euro zone
crisis has or will impact their FDI decisions.
Rounding out the top five in the confidence index are Brazil, Canada and
India.
CHINA'S DROP
Factors that impacted the outlook for FDI into China include a doubling of
labor costs since 2007, rising transportation costs and the appreciation of
its currency, the renminbi, which made it less competitive against other low
-cost alternatives such as Mexico.
The push by China, the world's second-largest economy, for the last 30 years
to be a manufacturing powerhouse has given way to trying to create a more
consumer-driven economy, "sparking internal debates about companies' future
plans," the survey said.
Investors might be more upbeat today about the world's prospects than years
past. Yet they are holding back investments waiting for a clearer solution
to current risks such as the economic slowdown in China and the euro zone
debt crisis.
The euro zone is mired in a recession that started out of the U.S. financial
crisis of 2008-2009.
"I expect when investors look at an individual investment play and
opportunity, most cite macroeconomic uncertainty. In fact 71 percent say
reasons my company's FDI flows have not recovered to pre-recession levels is
because of macroeconomic instability or uncertainty," Laudicina said.
While investors are holding back investments due to worries about the global
macroeconomic situation, companies are amassing record cash holdings.
U.S. firms in the S&P 500 Index held $900 billion in cash at the end of June
2012, according to the report, up 40 percent from 2008. Japanese cash rose
75 percent since 2007.
"This surplus could fuel more rapid global growth when the macroeconomic
clouds finally dissipate," the report said.
Even while the world economy looks to the United States for economic
leadership given its massive monetary policy stimulus program, perceptions
of risk between emerging and developed markets are equalizing, the survey
said, in nearly all areas save for politics.
"In area after area, from macroeconomic volatility and consumer demand to
regulatory barriers and taxation, investors say that developing markets have
roughly the same level of risk as developed markets," the survey said.
