China ranks the 10th in the 2022 foreign direct investment (FDI) confidence index released on April 8 by A.T. Kearney's Global Business Policy Council, rising from last year's 12th place, reported China Securities Journal.

The Kearney FDI Confidence Index is an annual survey that ranks the global markets with the potential to attract most foreign investment in the future. This recent result shows that the Chinese economy has seen robust recovery in 2021 and is expected to remain stable growth in the next three years.

According to the newly released ranking, the United States, Germany and Canada are the top three, followed by Japan, Britain, France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland, taking up the 4th to 9th places.

Among the 25 countries on the list, 21 are counted as developed economies and four are emerging markets. Besides China, the other three countries counted as emerging markets are the United Arab Emirates, Brazil and Qatar.
