U.S. Remains World’s Top Destination for Foreign Direct Investment for 12th Consecutive Year 
The United States has been ranked as the top destination for foreign direct investment for the 12th consecutive year according to Kearney’s Global Business Policy Council’s 202 [ https://www.kearney.com/service/global-business-policy-council/foreign-direct-investment-confidence-index ]4 [ https://www.kearney.com/service/global-business-policy-council/foreign-direct-investment-confidence-index ] Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Confidence Index [ https://www.kearney.com/service/global-business-policy-council/foreign-direct-investment-confidence-index ]. 
The annual survey of global senior executives and investors found that the Unites States maintains its lead ranking for over a decade due to the growing strength of the U.S. economy and rebounding consumer sentiment.  
““For the 12th year in a row, the United States was once again the number one destination for foreign direct investment in 2023, reflecting the Department of Commerce’s commitment to constantly increasing our economic competitiveness. Through our efforts to secure FDI across the United States, we are delivering on the Biden-Harris Administration’s promise to create good-paying jobs for working families and increase economic development in all communities across the country.”  ”
*- Secretary Gina Raimondo*
The United States’ ranking in the FDI Confidence Index is supported by the work of the Commerce Department’s SelectUSA program that focuses on facilitating job-creating business investment into the United States and raises awareness of the critical role that economic development plays in the U.S. economy.
