Oil sector investments recovery causes 2022 direct investment balance to plummet to US$6.1 billion deficit
The balance of direct investment in 2022 was a deficit of US$6.1 billion, against US$3.2 billion in the previous year, justified mainly by the increase in investments recovered by companies in the oil sector. Since 2015, new investments in the oil sector have been lower than recovered investments. The United States of America, France and Italy were the countries that stood out in terms of the origin of foreign direct investment destined for the oil sector.
