Investment Issues

About InvestmentForeign Direct Investment (FDI) plays a significant role in supporting the U.S. economy, U.S. industries and U.S. jobs.Over the last quarter century, expanding foreign direct investment has become an increasingly important catalyst of global economic integration and new economic growth and opportunity. Due to global economic integration, the livelihood of more workers in more companies around the globe depends on cross-border trade and investment than ever before. ECAT supports strong investment protections to support U.S. industries and workers, multilateral frameworks to promote strong investment policies, and the U.S. system to review the national-security implications of foreign investment in the United States.
