United Overseas Bank said the region drew record foreign direct investment last quarter as supply chain shifts and capital reallocation supported inflows.
Southeast Asia reportedly attracted record foreign direct investment, or FDI (cross-border business investment), in the last quarter, with Singapore leading the region, according to United Overseas Bank. The reported inflows were driven by supply chain rewiring and capital reallocation, a pattern that can reflect companies shifting production networks and investors redirecting funds across markets.
