Data on the proportions of foreign direct investment (FDI) by acquisitions, mergers and joint-ventures, new investments and expansions of existing investments in 2017, is not yet available. The annual release containing this information will be published in December 2018.

The stock of foreign direct investment in the UK increased to £1.6 trillion in 2017, a further 0.7% increase in addition to the record high FDI inflows in 2016.
