The forecast for France's Mining and Quarrying Outward FDI flows shows a significant downward trend from 2024 through 2028. Beginning at 639.2 million USD in 2024, the value decreases sharply to 385.14 million USD in 2025 and further declines to 133.62 million USD in 2026. By 2027, numbers dip into negative territory with an FDI outflow of -115.38 million USD, and worsens to -361.9 million USD by 2028. The year-on-year decrease is especially steep, indicating a lack of investor confidence or diminished opportunities abroad. In 2023, the FDI was positive, suggesting a substantial recent downward shift.
Future trends to watch for include potential policy shifts in France influencing FDI flows and the global mining and quarrying market's expansion or contraction, reacting to environmental and regulatory pressures. Additionally, geopolitical factors and their impact on international trade agreements may also play a crucial role in shaping the landscape for outward FDI in this sector.
