It is estimated that in 2004, the actual amount of foreign investment in China will exceed $60 billion for the first time, with an increase rate higher than 15%. However, it is worth noting that some foreign direct investment has not directly entered the field of industrial investment.

In economics:
In theoretical economics, investment refers to the purchase (and thus production) of capital goods-goods that will not be consumed but will be used for future production. Examples include building railways, or factories, cleaning the land, or sending yourself to college. Strictly speaking, investment is also a part of gross domestic product (GDP) in the formula of GDP= C+I+G+NX.
In that respect, the function of investment is divided into non-residential investment (such as factories, machinery, etc.). ) and residential investment (new house). According to the correlation of I = (Y, I), investment is closely related to income and interest rate. The increase in income will promote higher investment, but higher interest rates will hinder investment, because the cost of borrowing money becomes more expensive.
Finance: In finance, investment means buying securities or other financial or paper assets. Valuation is a method to estimate whether the price of a potential investment is worthwhile. The types of investment include real estate, securities investment, gold, foreign currency, bonds and stamps. After that, these investments may provide future cash flows, and their value may increase or decrease. Investment in the stock market is carried out by securities investors.
