(Bloomberg) — China’s investment into Belt and Road (BRI) countries rose last year to the highest since 2018, a new report says, with companies putting almost $50 billion into overseas projects.
Total investment was almost 80% higher than in 2022 and helped take total engagement with the 150 countries that have signed up to the infrastructure initiative to more than $1 trillion since 2013, according to a new report from Griffith University in Australia and Fudan University in Shanghai.
